It's not over, it's just the beginning


The emotional time has come, to say the goodbyes and thanks to the dear colleagues that have worked by my side for the last few months, my dear supervisor who was ever so helpful and patient with me, and to the boss who allowed my presence and learning in a most remarkable consultancy.

From the coffee runs and junior jobs, to the never ending mailbox and the tight deadline frenzies, and lets not forget the odd glass of champagne at the end of the week, I can say that the whole PR interning experience was one of a lifetime.

Never could I have imagined prior to this unit, learning so much about a degree I already thought I knew.

This internship has taught me so much. Not just about things you can learn from a book. But real things, things like building relationships with colleagues and clients, things like gaining the courage to tackle tasks front on and gaining a certain confidence to find YOUR place in PR.

I’ve learned that PR is a lot more versatile than I had previously thought. The profession cannot be defined by one simple definition, but many definitions. The job entails all sorts of wild activities, all of which share one thing in common: to get the job done.

I have come out of this internship with a hunger to learn and experience more, to graduate out into the real world and embark on a never ending learning journey.

It has been an absolute pleasure reading up n everyone’s different experiences; I hope every one has come out of their internship with the same motivation as I have.


All the best,

LS
