I am having a great experience at PILS and as time goes by, I am learning new things. Through the internship, I understand how the organization works and how theories learnt in classes are reflected in real life events.
Good internal relationships:
A must!
For an organization to operate well, the relation among the employer and
the employees and among the employees themselves are essential factors. Through
my experience, I noticed to what extent a good relationship among people
working within the same organization is important and the impact it has on the
motivation to produce good work. As an intern, seeing this kind of friendly
atmosphere contributed to make my adaptation smoother and not being afraid to
ask questions. This proximity and good relationship among the employees allow
them to approach their colleagues to discuss about an idea or only to have
their opinion about something. The relationship reflected that they value
employees and made them feel useful. The good employment relationship promotes
productivity, motivation, no superiority among the employees and reduce conflicts.
Multi-talented
I learned that I cannot afford having only my PR knowledge to be able to
cope with the work but I should be able to know how to do other things and also,
if needed, do them simultaneously. While changing department, one day I was at
the reception and I needed to answer calls. I was also working on an article and
at first, it was disturbing because I could not concentrate on my article.
Afterwards, I realized that to cope with the tasks, I should be able to do several
work at the same time, maintain a good concentration and have a proper time
management. It was difficult at the start, but I managed after a while.
Be positive!
To work within a communication department, it is not that easy, but I believed
that with practice and as soon as the good rhythm of working is obtained,
things will be good. These days working at this NGO has helped me to understand
the importance of internal relationships within an organization since I have
been able to experience it in real life and also how crucial it is to do
several things at the same time. To fulfill the required tasks, keeping a
positive attitude in every situation is the key to success. I have found some
useful links about good internal relationships which can help you understand
more about internal relationships and how it is important for an organization.
Thank you for taking time to read my post.
