Put To The Test

During my time at my internship I have been given many opportunities to better my work and gain some real world experience.

Last week, my internship invited me to one of their events that their client was hosting. Now, since we are a PR firm, our job was essentially to be the press for the event.

It was still fun though. Located at the top floor of The Westshore Grand hotel, the event was simply spectacular. Being able to meet doctors and companies from all over Florida and some parts of the U.S, was fascinating. I got to speak will many members of the doctors practice while also showing my face and getting my name released as a part of a distinguished PR firm.

Feeling a little pressured to do well at my first big event just made me that much more motivated to provide the best work I could.

My job that night was to take pictures of the event and assist in interviewing the guest speakers from the companies the client worked with.

It was interesting to shadow some of my colleagues to see how their styles differed from one another.

Using my own spark and point of view I wanted to make sure I would make a good impression.

In the business world; it's all about who you know. Connections are everything and the more people you meet, the better chance you have at gaining access to bigger and better opportunities.

So, when I work my way up in the business world, I want to make sure that I remember the people out there like me. Those who want to get their foot in the door, and all they need is to be given an chance to prove themselves.

Marketing yourself is one of the biggest things I am learning to do right now. The more you market yourself and showcase who you are and what you can do, the more credibility you gain.
