Before I start my internship, I was informed to go the
hotel few days earlier for the purpose of filling up some documents, understand
the hotel rules and regulation in the hotel, getting familiar in my workplace
and people here.
First day of internship:
I was told to write up a press release for the
upcoming event which is sing Christmas caroling in the general hospital.
What’s in my mind?
- People said that is a gap between the thing (hard skill) that you have learnt in the university and what the real world is. However, I found that statement is not really true because somehow I can link what I had learnt from the university to my work in this hotel.
-
- I feel grateful because I am not as bad as what senior told me that just sitting in the office and do nothing but I am using my skill to contribute to the hotel that I currently working with.
-
- Stressful. As I poor in English, I doubted my ability to take up this task. However, my supervisor keep encouraging me and willing to help me when I faced difficulties.
What I have learnt?
- My manager told me that as working in the hotel industry, service is important. Therefore do not forget about those magic words (Thank you, Please, Sorry) and greeting to everyone even a housekeeping worker.
-
- When you are not clear about anything, do not hesitate to ask your supervisor or people around you.
- When I am not sure about the news angel, always referring back to the media clipping. Media clipping can be consider as a reference for you to refer and come out with an idea to write about press release.

Yeah media clipping seems to be a hard work for everyday, but it helps when you need some information from the industry.
Media Clipping is usually the basics for all interns working under Public Relations. It is good for information purposes about the current industry.
