Well, well, well, this brings me to the
end of my internship blogs, and I would just like to say a huge thank you to
the team at CBH for taking me in with such welcoming arms. My overall
experience has been well worth the hour long commutes into the city centre and
the constant walking in high heel boots.
I would just like to give a tip to
those of you who are finishing up their internships, make sure you let the workplace
know how much you appreciate them dedicating extra time and effort to give you
work to do, and thank them for the both work and personal level you got to know
them on. Below is my final email I sent on my last day, as a general thank you
to everyone who I worked with in my corporate affairs and marketing team.
“ Hi Team!
This is my last day and I would just
like to thank you all for the dedication you have given to me in my time here
at CBH.
My time here has been great and I have
experienced what it is like to be involved with a team that works so closely
together. Thank you for letting me tag along to your meetings and giving me
real jobs to do while I was here.
I wish you all the best, especially
Sarah, Nikki and Jody with your soon adventures. Have a great time!!
Thank you for a great internship! And I
will be sure to write some positive notes about you all in my Final Report.
Also cheers Roz, Kate and Matt for being boss pod buddies, and Sarah, Susan and
Christine on my days in pod one!
Will miss being part of the CBH team
and I will see some of you at the Dowerin Field Day, and other farming things I
am sure.
Keep representing us farmers well!!
Regards, Rachel Clarke (The Intern) “
Throughout my time I created a very
personal relationship with a lot of the women in my office. Therefore
making an email such as this one very appropriate to show my gratitude to
everything they had done for me over my time. I cannot emphasise enough how important it is,
good experiences or bad, to say thank you. It is something we are losing in today’s
world and I believe people who dedicate so much free time to you appreciate
this at least.
As a final parting gift to my group I
left chocolates and some slice, this is something I do regularly and was a
slight bribe as they are now on my resume as a reference. Remember to be smart
as this is one of our first experiences into the PR world which we wish to
enter.
ANY WHO, over my past four blogs you
have read my rants, my confusion and most importantly my interest in what we
do. So now I say good bye and GOOD LUCK! Make every last day worth it!
Happy Interning
