An
internship is a chance to test drive a vocation without making any genuine
commitments. It is an opportunity to see what it might truly be like to work in
an organization, and whether I am a great fit.
While
serving my internship at Caritas Ile Maurice, a non-governmental organisation,
I gained firsthand bits of knowledge into how precisely a PR person functions.
I am happy that I picked a smaller organisation, since I was given a ton of
work, which I especially appreciated, and I had the opportunity to learn a lot
alone and with the supervision of the group. Doing my internship in a smaller
instead of a bigger organisation, has permitted me to go up against more commitments,
be in more intimate contact with customers and build up a set of vital PR.
My
temporary job at Caritas helps upgrading my professional confidence, while
permitting me to go behind-the-scenes. By interning, I have defied and overcame
‘the apprehension of the unknown’ that I had about what it resembled to work and
to carry myself in a professional milieu. By cooperating with others, I have
the lucky chance to evolve into a better communicator.
All
those stating that the first intern day is inactive, trust me it does not take
long for my workplace to get occupied. I have learned the right way on how to
be proactive. It was my duty to learn much more on the NGO as much as I can and
to do more than ‘just my job.’
To
end my first blog entry, I would like to reflect on something somebody told me.
One of my friends asked me whether what I am doing in my internship is
profiting me the way I believe it would. The inquiry made me understand that I
am gaining much more than I thought I would, not just in light of the fact that
I am implementing the theories that I have learned in my PR unit, but simply
because emailing people, making phone calls, writing press releases and working
on an event give me an insight of the administrative side of the NGO.
I
hope everybody finishing their internship is having an astounding knowledge and
is benefiting as much as possible from the valuable time they have. I am so
eager to see what the following couple of weeks hold for me at Caritas.
Thank
you for your reading time and good luck for your internships!
