First Day of Internship

Today was my first day at work, FINALLY!

I have been waiting for this since three months and here I am, in a place that I didn't even know existed in Mauritius. The environment is quite relaxing, no noise pollution or whatever, a bit too relaxing for me, in other words you just want to sleep under a tree and appreciate the nature.

As it is a very small company, (6 employees only, including me) it was quite difficult to feel comfortable as they already knew each other and I was the only new intern. Frankly I wanted to run away from this place but thank God, I have a very good friend who told me, “You've got to pull yourself together and take control of your emotions!”

She was right, it’s not the work that sucks, it’s the way you relate to the work itself. Everything depends on the way you see things, I decided to take it positively and do the work seriously, I did what I could and even my boss was impress by my work.

At this precise moment, the day went out quickly and smoothly. I was asked to find specific costing for an event that the company is supposed to organised. I was asked to find different venues, caterings, photographers and book publishers for the event.

What I learned from my first day at work is that good contacts are essential in public relations, without them, organising an event is impossible.

Thank you for reading my first blog entry and stay tuned :)
