This is not the end, it is all slowly beginning

As the end came for my internship, I took time to reflect on the last three months about how working at Communicare had set in stone that doing PR was one of the best decisions I ever made personally.

The 8:30 starts and driving through traffic for another day at staring at a computer may not sound so appealing and great but I came to enjoy it. The different skills I had learnt through the course of my degree, were being put in play and having done countless assignments for non- for profit organisations, the knowledge that I had gained was helping me.

My internship thought me to be organised, on time and to double triple check everything to ensure everything is perfect and also there is nothing wrong with asking for a third or fourth opinion. At Communicare, the organisation services about seven different sectors, and they are all dependent on the marketing and media team, to get the word out there about the different events that are happening for them. I was thoroughly impressed how organised the team was, in ensuring they got all the right information out there at all times  and on time.

I am grateful for Aimee (who is no longer at the organisation) for giving me this opportunity, to develop my skills further, to allow me to reassure myself, I have made the right decision in choosing to study PR , when some around me doubted it was not really a real degree.

Now that it has come to an end, and I am writing my final report, each day I think to myself, yes I can be a PR practitioner and though it may not always be easy, I will enjoy it at the end of the day. Now to just get a job!

This is not the end, it is all slowly beginning.
