This here is my final assignment I need to submit in order to become a graduate and a "professional" in my field. Prior to completing my internship, I was doubting myself, questioning myself - was I qualified enough, was I equip with all the skills to do a good? Safe to say that after the completion of my internship, the answer is YES!
To me, public relations has a lot to do with confidence. You must have confidence in not only yourself, but your organisation, your product and your team. This may not be something that they teach at university, however, it is needed to apply all the skills and techniques you have learnt.
A lot of the time whilst I was doing my internship, I was sent off by myself, to work individually. Working unsupervised in a new profession was nothing by daunting for me. What if I was to make the wrong decision? What if my manager thought my idea was ridiculous or even worse, a waste of time? I came to realise that if I did make a decision and I stuck with it, she believed in me and my idea more.
So for those of you who doubt yourself, doubt your knowledge or doubt what you have learnt. DO NOT! We are equip with all the right tools. Have faith in what you know and make the changes you want to see!
