Yesterday marked my final day of internship with Corporate
Communications. It was also Curtin Sarawak Open Day 2014. It was a fun-filled
day, and I was exhausted from running around with a camera taking videos for
Corporate Communications to use as promotional material.

Sitting at home now I can’t help but reflect on my experience being
a Public Relations Intern. I learnt more about how PR tactics are applied in
the corporate world. I could link whatever I have learnt in class to what I
experience or witnessed at work. Such as the importance of media clippings (at
least my fingers will be ink free now), stakeholder management, media
relations, communication plans, media kits and being professional at all times.
It has been a fun and educational journey that seem to end a little
too soon. I’ll miss the daily jokes and laughs in the office but since I will
still be on campus I’m told to just pop in anytime I am free, as they would
love the extra help. I’ll also be assisting Marcella for the Curtin Media
Appreciation Night 2014 to be held in November. Planning for that starts in
October. Such excitement! For all those still doing your internship, have fun
while you’re doing it and for those who completed and are struggling with the
report, I feel your pain! Hahaha.
For those finishing this semester, Happy Graduating! For the rest, hang in there.
