The last day of my PR internship was hectic. It was treated as any other day, busy busy busy. I was responsible for sourcing more potential clientele for one of our clients, F45 Fitness. I was also tasked with finding local online media that could potentially be contacted to support our client.
It seemed like a blur - how quickly those 20 days had passed me by, and I felt like I had learned so much, and yet had so much more to learn about the industry and what the future in PR would hold for me.. It made me realise that business stops for nobody, and it's not like a retail job where you can just go home after a long day and forget about it - no, it is an urgent, full-time lifestyle, and with the amount of responsibility which was placed on my team, I could see how much it permeated into everyone's everyday lives.
This PR Internship really made me think hard about what kind of business or industry I'd like to work for later on in life. I had a great time at The Brand Hierarchy, however, reading through others' experiences in their blog posts has made me realise what a different and unique experience it was in itself. Not many people get to experience working first-hand under a small business, and I was fortunate enough to land myself in that position.
I am grateful to Karlee for taking me on whilst already having a lot going on in terms of business restructuring and expansion, and I will never forget my experience at The Brand Hierarchy.

Hello Wendy ,
I appreciated your post :)
I guessed that now, after 20 days of internship in the public relation department you have an idea of what you wished to do after your studies.Having the opportunity to make an internship before starting to work is really important as it gave to us a clear idea of what is waiting for us in the future.
My last internship day was similar! I had so much work to do before leaving and could not enjoyed my last moments with my rocking team.I hope you had enjoyed your internship to the fullest and learnt interesting things in Public Relation
Thank You ,
Melody
