So, my internship was a little slow to start, so my stress started to build. I did a few days here and there but was unsure of when I would be given a little more responsibility as my tasks to date were pretty admin based as it is an events company...
Me, being me, was worried that I wasn't learning as much as I could and asked for extra tasks... And they delivered.
I am so excited, I am now working on the four ANZAC Day 2015 events at Kings Park and in the city! For these events I have to create a community engagement strategy, a boiler plate (information one pager), FAQ document for the ANZAC Day 2015 website, writing a letter to the local residents and organising sponsorship! While they are challenging tasks and it is completely different writing something that is going to be published and used rather than an assignment. I am really looking forward to getting these tasks underway and into my portfolio.
For large events, the surrounding communities must be consulted and kept up to date with road closures, noise levels and parking, if the event is to run smoothly.
Hope you are all enjoying your placements! I can't wait to start these tasks and experience real deadlines!

It's great to hear that you are enjoying what you are doing.
When i first started my internship, everyone was busy with the task they have on hand and i was allocated with tasks from different people.
Being in a small agency, most of the task are time sensitive.
AT first, I didn't know which task to prioritize and got scolded for not finishing task on time.
But i learnt things the hard way, after being scolded for a few times, whenever i was given a task, I would tell the person what tasks I already have on hand and let decide on which task is more urgent and I have to handle first.
I also list out the task i have on hand on a post-it so that i can track how much time i have left and the amount of task to be done.
