End of my Internship

Hi Bloggers,



So it has come to the end of my internship, and must I say I have thoroughly enjoyed very minuet of it.  Through completing my internship at the Department of Government Housing I feel as if I have learnt the true importance of this PR unit. As I was given the opportunity to gain experience in an environment where they constantly encouraged me to challenge myself when it came to handling clients, organising events, liaising with media organisations and attending business meetings.  As part of the PR corporate communications team at the department of housing I felt as if was able to gain deeper insight into how the roles and responsibilities are expected to be carried out in an organisation such as the Government. 

Through working alongside the corporate communication general manager at the Department of Government Housing, Steve Athem I was able to understand how PR jobs such as his was indeed stressful at times however, was all about remaining efficient and organised in all areas of work. Throughout my time spent at the organisation I had the opportunity to make lifetime relationships and friendships with my colleagues, as I found my co-workers to be very friendly and approachable at all times.

Despite being heavily nervous about this internship I soon learnt that it was a priceless experience, and one that will never be forgotten about. As all the tips and professional practices I have been taught will stay with me forever and will guide me into leading a successful career in PR.

Overall it wasn’t for this unit I wouldn’t have been able to be given the opportunity to gain an insight and further understanding of how a PR organisation operates. So I am very thankful to the department of Government Housing for allowing me to have such n amazing experience! Furthermore it was through incorporating the learning outcomes and key messages in the study I have completed thus far that enabled me to feel ready and capable of taking on this internship.
