Hello Everyone,
The Public Relations 393
(Professional Practice) module required me to carry out a 2 months term
internship in a company that I’ve chosen. I had the opportunity of being placed
in one of the best Public Relations consultant in Indonesia, Fortune PR. I was
placed in the division of NBD (New Business Development).
Fortune PR is a full-service public relations consultancy
based in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is a subsidiary of PT Fortune Indonesia Tbk and
a partner in Worldcom Public Relations Group. It was started in 1984 by Miranty
Abidin (President Director) and has partnered many private companies, government and
non-governmental institutions in building reputation, public trust, as well as
brand recognition.
During my first week, all of my colleagues were really
helpful. They taught me how to handle the project and built a proposal. They
also asked me to help them giving some ideas for an event. In Fortune PR, they treat an intern as their team which
means that an intern also their part of family. Therefore, they will give the
intern opportunity to make a proposal project for their clients.
Although i just realized that the real PR world is like a
jet coaster, everything is going to fast, more clients and more proposal. For
example, in one day, we can have 4 – 5 clients and the deadline for the
proposal is around 1 week. But for me, Doing my Internship in Fortune PR was one of the best experience
I’ve ever had. From Interview via Skype, brain storming for proposals, built a
proposal and share our room with Board of Directors. I also gain my knowledge
about PR industry and improved my language skills, increase my networks, and more
sensitive to analyze something that could become a problem. This experiences
will help me to prepare my self to face the real industry of PR.
Thank you for reading, until my next post.
Cheers,
Della Patricia Mandiro

Wow! This was some roller coaster hey! 5 clients in a day!?! I hope you enjoyed your internship there though.
That was a great way of showing how eager and hardworking you are by showing up early on your first day. It shows that you were determined in your placement.
