Definitely it's not THE END!

Hello everyone, 

Hope you guys are enjoying your Internship and gaining valuable experience as well. My internship has came to an end, but it has definitely prepare me to a more challenging working life! 

I would like to thanks to PR Internship this unit which has pushed me from my comfort zone. This internship has made me grown up a lot and get to experience the life of a PR Officer. Besides, I have found my personalities and abilities during the placement based on the jobs that have been assigned by the supervisor. This enables me to choose the job that I am more suitable based on my strengths and abilities. 

Below is the summarize of the jobs that I have put to practice in my PR Internship. 

• Events: Planning activities for the visitors (from primary schools, secondary schools) by using Event Plan. 
• Press release: Using the Inverted pyramid format to write a media release and ensure the release is easy to understand by others. 
• Media clipping: Cut out all the press releases about Pustaka Negeri Sarawak, Miri,the competitors and also the industry that its operate in. 
• Design notices: Design and put up the notices about the event to inform public

Some useful tips for those who are still doing your Internship:

• Say YES to everything. If we are asked to do things during placement, grab the opportunity and help them. It is because this is the chance for us to learn the things which we do not know. Besides, this attitude will also show that we are enthusiastic in our work and we are willing to learn new things. 
• Learn from the mistakes. Do not get upset or disappoint when we make mistakes. It is because everyone make mistakes as long as we learn from the mistakes and do not repeat it again in the future. 
• Be professional. We should be professional no matter in our dress code or works. As a PR Practitioner, the first impression is very important. Thus, we should dress professionally and neatly in order to create a good impression to our boss or the clients. In addition, when we come to work, we should not keep on playing our mobile phones. 
• Be punctual. It is important to reach the office early. When we have the habit to be punctual during placement, we will definitely have the same attitude when we go out to work. 

Lastly, This internship has opened my mind and eyes on how big the world of PR is and also the powerful of PR. I have noted down all the valuable experiences that I have gained throughout the journey and also the important lessons that have taught by Ms. Sofina.
