Sayonara Internship Program, see you in another time!

Today marks the last day of Internship program that I had for the Public Relations unit as part of my Bachelor Degree completion, focusing on final exams and hopefully I will be able to graduate on February 2017 *yeayme*.
Inul Vizta Family KTV has been an interesting place for a fast pace of working place. The company is eager to compete with another companies who is offering similar type of purpose which is Karaoke for customers such as working people, students in schools and Universities, families and corporate events. The company can be said as a leading franchisee based company that succeed to achieve a positive brand image and media coverage toward the company.

By completing the Internship program, I will of course miss the company and my small desk (more about it below) and I cannot wait to apply the skills that I have learned to the real world later on. I will mostly feel grateful to my supervisor, Herry and his assistant, Hendra to guide me when I was interning there and receiving important information about the company and to know more how to work in an office environment as personally I have never been working in an office before doing this Internship.

These below are some images of the office that I worked for:

 This above is the desk that I sat during the Internship days.

This image above is the situation of the 5th floor office at Inul Vizta Family Karaoke KTV Palembang, Indonesia.

This table above in the image is where me and the supervisors have a weekly meeting or daily follow up in the office.

Therefore, by creating this blog post marks the end journey of Public Relations Internship and my journey as a University Student.
Thank you my small team members and people in Inul Vizta for the precious memories and fun working situation that we had. See you in another time.

Thanks for reading my blog posts guys :)

Introduction to the Internship Placement 101

Hello readers, it's been quite a time since my first post ever in the blog. Today, I'll tell you about my workplace for the PR Internship. Likewise, I said that the place specialise in entertainment industry.

The place was established on 2008 and have been very successful entertainment company in the city of Palembang, South Sumatra. This is where I was born and grew up at. Everyday the business generates a profit up to amount of $5,000 if converted in Australian Dollar.

The place was expanded to another building on year 2011, adding more 100 rooms for guests to come and enjoy karaoke-ing in our place.
We offer a 'happy hour service' where people can book the room for 2 hours and get a free 1 hour additional with certain total amount of food and beverages for the previous 2 hour that they have used beforehand.
Our business opens EVERYDAY from 11AM - 3AM in the morning. Our employees have three shifts changes throughout the days and given a few day-offs per month (notified for medical reason or other personal reasons).

There is a downside to our place where we as an entertainment industry have to close our business when it's on Ramadan month about 2 - 3 months (June to end of July or beginning of August). We have to do that because of the Indonesia's regulation where we have to respect our Muslim friends who are fasting and prohibited to have late night entertainment or clubbing services. But this only applies in small provinces such as Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi. Sadly, our place is applied.

This is the place that I have been working for:

This is the front logo of the building. it has 5 floors (floor 1 - 4 are the karaoke rooms), 5th floor is the office. We also use elevator service for easier access to our customers since year 2014.

The special colours for the industry are blue and yellow. It is applied in the employees' uniform, front desk table design and wallpapers around the building.

This below is our brand ambassador. She is called Inul Daratista or preferably called as Inul, a leading singer specialise in Dangdut music genre, it is quite famous music genre in Indonesia. She has been working as a singer from year 2000, her work is acknowledged nationally by 2003 and has been working with the karaoke franchiser since year 2005.

The rooms that we offer for our customers are divided to 6 types. There are small, deluxe, medium, large, VIP and VVIP, with different prices range. The last 2 types are usually booked for birthdays, seminar, gatherings and official meetings.

These below are some of the images for the rooms:

These below are the price offered by the business. It is presented in IDR (Indonesian Rupiah) prices.

The karaoke place also have food services for the customers to enjoy their time when they are karaoke-ing. These below are some menu design for the business. The menu is also part of the special offers for birthdays up to 20+ pax and offered with various types of Indonesian food specially served by the kitchen staff. (All prices are in IDR (Indonesian Rupiah)).

Based on my personal experiences and a few visits, I have been to the place before I was working as an intern and it is a really good place and recommended for people who loves to sing and spend their time with friends and families. We have a lot of songs in the system and you can request it if it's still haven't uploaded yet (I'll tell you more on my next post!).

This karaoke brand has a lot of branches across Indonesia such as Jakarta, Denpasar;Bali, Surabaya, Lampung, Bandung, Makassar, Jayapura, Tangerang, Medan and more. If you are interested in coming there and want to know more about the place, don't hesitate contact me later for more information.

I think that's all for this time, I have spilled quite a lot of information for our company. Thanks for reading!!

Finding an internship is like finding an ant in the sand for me

Hello friends, this is Isabella I know it's really late that I just post my blog post for the 1st time for the internship. Let's just get started :)

First of all, I have no idea that finding an internship as a PR student will be really really hard and requires a lot of time and receiving replies when you apply for the position is kinda giving mixed emotions like excited to work as intern but a bit sorrow when the company does not want us in their industry. But all is good now because I will finish my intern position soon enough after finding it with much effort and struggle.

I have been enjoying my intern position as a social media assistant in managing the company's Facebook page and the website for the company. I work for a karaoke industry called Inul Vizta in South Sumatra, Indonesia. It has been a pretty successful company as it's been running from 2008 and everyday there is always guest or customers who want to sing at the place.
The name for the company is pretty unique because the franchiser use Indonesian singer to work as the icon or ambassador for our company. The company also has a lot of branches across Indonesia such as Jakarta, Surabaya, Lampung, Medan, Makassar, Depok, Tangerang and many more.

At first, I was really nervous on how to work as an intern in a company because I don't have much working experience in general let alone as a PR intern. Also, finding an intern position in Australia is really hard for me as I am an international student and don't have significant experience in working and most companies want people who are already have skills in working as intern.
When I work at the company, the manager trains me on how to do the work in general, giving me guidelines on how to work with the teams, what things to post on the accounts and the people are really friendly too as I have known them before I apply for the job.

The one thing that I am concerned with at first was the difference theories applied for PR in general. Like in Indonesia, PR is known more as public speaking, presentation and writing reports. It is seen as communication and promotion tool for the company. But in Australia, it isn't like that, there is more to PR than what I know before studying it in University. So it is kinda interesting to tell my fellow colleagues about what I studied for PR, the techniques, theories, understanding and application for PR in working as well.

Well, I think it is enough for my 1st post ever in this blog. I will write my intern journey soon enough and doing my best as a student as well.
