Hi everyone!
This is my first time to do my internship and I'm glad that I'm able to work in an international PR firm located at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This is only my first week of my internship and I would like to share my experience.
Well, I guess everyone was having the same feeling as me on the first day of internship. I'm nervous to work in a new environment yet excited to meet all the new people in the new place. Luckily, my working environment is so nice because the office and my colleagues are very nice!
On my first day of internship, the office manager gave me a briefing about the Do's and Don'ts in the office. Also, i was told that I have my own email and required to create a signature for my own email. Moreover, I need to read the office policies and do three tests about the policies. I finished on the first day as my supervisor was outstation that day. So now I have my own email and email signature. That's really cool as I feel like I'm really a PR professional now!
I met my supervisor on the second day of my internship. He was really busy so we can only meet up after lunch time and he briefed me about my job scopes. And finally I started to do my first task which is searching for bloggers' information.
On my third day of internship, besides doing the blogger list, I was asked by other department to proof read the Chinese version media release as I'm the only intern who can read Chinese. So, I tried my best to correct the grammar and the flow of the media release.
Fourth day of my internship was really exciting as I was asked to help out in an event! It was an event held in the town of Kuala Lumpur to promote the client's products. It was really a good experience for me as I learnt how to deal with the media and the roles of PR practitioners in an event. The event finished at 8.30pm. Due to the privacy policy, I can't upload the photos that I took. So sorry I can't share the photos that I took of the event!
Friday, which is the casual day, everyone in the company is allowed to wear casual! And it is the day where everyone needs to submit the time entry and claims form. I don't learn how to do the time entry yet as my supervisor didn't teach me and I have another project need to do, a competitors analysis of a client.
That's all for my first week of my internship! More to come next week! :)

Hello Ching Mei.
I just started with my internship as well this week like you do. I can related to you with the feeling of nervous and excited in both ways. I was both nervous and excited when I arrived on the first of my internship. But then again, as my supervisor greet and brief me on the organization and introduced me to the staffs, I felt much better as the staffs at my place they do are friendly as well. I guess we just need to stay positive when it comes to dealing with new environment and yes it takes time to adjust ourselves but I bet slowly we will blend completely with the environment.I wish you the best in your placement and enjoy it as well.
