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.
