I found Clarity

It seems as soon as I commenced my internship with Clarity Communications it was over. 

My final weeks of my internship I continued to work with my media pitches surrounding the client ICF,  I produced a progress report for Kellie, updated all information gathered into appropriate files and finalised the ‘How to Guide’ for the leadership team who would continue to maintain the site. 

I have completed a lot of work experience in both PR and Journalism previously, but this is by far the most realistic experience i’ve had. 

For that I will be grateful, as it has given me an in depth scope into the industry and provided me with the opportunity to have a go with the allowance of trial and error. 

The team at Clarity have been exceptional in all that they have taught me, and their willingness to help me. 

I am also grateful for ICF WA allowing me the opportunity to work alongside them in their awareness and engagement campaign. 

I will leave my internship more confident on where I want my career to begin but have also learnt lessons on what I can improve which is why I believe we are made to do the unit throughout our degree. 

I know that I need to spend more time on my grammar and spelling, and as i’ve mentioned in my previous blogs I tend to rush to the finish line. 

Kellie has invited me to come back to the office to work on this aspect of my work which I am very eager to complete. 

What i’ve ultimately come up with key areas that my future professional self will keep in mind:

1. Don’t rush, despite deadlines, it is important to take your time to ensure your work is of quality and not quantity
2. Edit your work to the standard of publication. 
3. Take note of what is happening in the community to determine whether a topic is newsworthy.
4. Don’t be afraid of challenges, and thinking outside of the square - this industry is full of innovative and creative personalities.
5. And lastly, love your job, it is a fun, engaging environment where you face challenges everyday.

Now equipped with the experience of working in-house and in agency, I’d like to say I enjoy agency for its variety.

I hope everyone has had as successful placements as my own..

I have definitely found Clarity.
