MY FIRST DAY IN THE REAL WORLD OF PR

NAME: Boipelo Candy Michael 


UNIVERSITY: LUCT

This is my first post so let me introduce myself. My name is Boipelo Candy Michael, i study Mass Communication in Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, Malaysia. I did my Internship at Botswana Agricultural Marketing Board (BAMB)  from January to February. BAMB is a company which deals with buying all farm products from local producers and selling them to other companies after being processed. The company makes sure that the nation is supplied with the farm products at an affordable price.


I started my internship on the 2nd of January and it was a challenging and exciting day. The company was dealing with a crisis of shortage of sorghum, so there were rumors that the Nation's food security is threatened. I was assigned to draft a media release to insure the nation that everything is under control and let them know that the company has already imported the sorghum from outside the country.

I had to apply the knowledge i have from PR classes and it was so exciting. My boss was so pleased my draft.

Thank you for reading.

Your placement sound like it was the best place to be,being in such big organisation it is always a blessing with disguise.

It is so great to hear about the task you were doing, and i think it has given you the industry experience.
