Hey Everyone, I will shortly be starting my
internship with Networking WA (also known as Via Appia Networking WA – which I
will go into later!)
Here is a little background on the company for those that
do not know:
Networking WA is a Western Australian dedicated event
management company. Whilst being dedicated to producing creative and memorable
events and experiences, Networking WA is also renowned for their unique
membership program and broad database.
As the name suggests Networking
WA is known for the networking sources they provide through their events
allowing businesses, entrepreneurs and striving business people the opportunity
to network with one another in opportunities unique to Networking WA’s events. The
affix Via Appia is an expression of
their networking abilities as Via Appia is the name of a critical road built by
the Ancient Romans that essentially networked and connected the empire –
Networking WA essentially connects business and business people with others in
both different and similar industries with one another.
With the company slogan "It's Who You Know", which makes a lot of sense for a networking company, I am pretty excited to get a taste of the networks this company has to offer only then will be 'Who I've Met's become 'Who I Know'.
As I was searching for a company to do my internship, this
company sure seemed like it had a lot to offer!
Although I have completed some work experiences, I did not know
what to expect because this internship felt somewhat different because it was
one step closer to the real deal. I am keen to expand my skills, knowledge and
networks during my time at Networking WA – and what better company to do just
that – and I am ready to take on whatever challenges they throw at me!
Internship Day ONE - BRING IT ON!

Public Relations is definitely about "who you know." The networks that we are starting to build now - in our internships and with each other - will follow us for the rest of our career.
What a fantastic place to be an intern! I look forward to reading the rest of your posts and hearing about your priceless experiences!
All the best,
Lauren
Hi Lauren,
Oh I certainly agree that the networks that we build now are the building blocks for our future careers, but what I think I should have focused on more was these people that you meet won't always become people that you know and won't always become a part of these networks that we are working on building.
Well, that is unless you can consider yourself to be on good terms or close enough to these 'who you know's otherwise all the who you knows and who you've mets I don't think really matter because the benefits of it being about 'who you know' are really non-existent.
Thanks for your comment!
Reyhan
