Hi Everyone!
Even thou I am now typing in my final blog entry for this module, I am still doing my internship with the company till the end of June. Reading the various blog entries of my classmates and students from other Curtin campuses, it is such a wonderful read! Everyone is doing well and have achieved and learned new things from your places of internship.
This internship programme has broaden my understanding of public relations and also experiences working for a niche business. Despite the fact that I received some skepticism from peers with regards to my choice of company, a bridal company, I am very glad that this path was chosen.
Being in a creative environment "forces" me to think creatively with my work and the need to "please" and "impress" my boss, who is after-all the creative director of the company! The past weeks has been not just challenging but amazingly fun for me. I managed to do two things in one. One, my love and passion for the arts and implementing the things I've learnt in school.
Public relations is not just a tool, it is also a form of ART! Similar to public relations, art is often seen as a subjective matter in the eyes of the public.
In a nutshell, I strongly urge future students of Public Relations Internship 393 to pursue internship with a business/organization that they are passionate in. The saying "time flies when you're having fun", I definitely can relate. Internship does not seem like a drag or chore when you're doing things you love.
All the best for the upcoming exams
and future endeavours (graduation is just around the corner!)
Lots of Love (LOL)

This internship programme has given us an amazing opportunity to apply our knowledge that we learned from uni in a real work environment! The experiences were so much deeper than what we actually studied. Am so glad that we got to do this amazing internship unit!
