And slowly as the semester comes to an end...my work life just begins.

So only 2 more weeks to go and university will be over for the semester. For some of the other people in this unit that may mean the end of their internship, but for me its only the beginning really. I have decided to extend my internship until i find a paid position in Public Relations. I am also increasing my work days to 4 days a week from 9am till 4pm. My aim through this is to gain as much knowledge, skills and experience as possible before i enter the 'real world' as some may call it.

As per my last blog post, i haven't gone any further with chasing up the national team to hand over some access to the WA Amnesty branch website. At this point in time it seems impossible for them to hand over the access even if i go out and do the training necessary out of my own expense. As for the reason behind this we are still unsure, but it is extremely frustrating for me and the rest of the staff in the WA office. For along as i am within the Amnesty Organisation i will make this a goal for myself to attain this access for WA in particular.

My new team has settled in really well, the graphics designers are on the ball with things, their work has been amazing. At the moment in conjunction with the rest of the WA office staff i am planning out first major WA staff and volunteer event. We will use this event to network and meet everyone behind the WA Amnesty organisation. Its still in the planning stages but we are all excited and looking forward to a lovely night out!

Originally when it was extremely busy i was thinking about getting another PR assistant to help me out. However, as university is finishing and i am taking up full time position within the organisation i don't see it as a necessity anymore to hire another individual to assist me.

So i hope everyone else has enjoyed their internship, i am enjoying every bit of mine. I look forward to reading more blog posts.

Good luck and see you all in the future!

Take care.
