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 :)

This is the story of my endless search for an internship!

Hello people,

Okay, I have to say that ever since I knew I would start a Curtin degree at the Charles Telfair Institute, I was overly excited for the internship I would have to take while finishing my studies. Following the orientation session with our lecturer, we were told to send applications as soon as possible. After updating my CV and application letter, I shortlisted nine Public Relations, Media and Communication organisations and companies where I sent my letters. I had to wait for weeks until I finally got a response from one company where they wanted to hire a full time intern and as bad luck would have it, classes were resuming the following week and therefore, I had to let go of their offer. At this point, I was devastated that I had to refuse an offer from such a prestigious company. People started replying my emails giving me the “Thank you for trusting our company, but right now we are not hiring interns, we are keeping your CV…” speech and that was when the stress reached its peak. I started calling other companies and organisations but in vain. Some people were confusing Public Relations with Human Resource or Guest Relations! I was very disappointed with the PR professionals in Mauritius and I felt like they did not honour the PR profession at all. 

One day, I stumbled across an advertising/communication agency and a phone call later, they told me to send the director a mail. The reply of the director was instant and I got an interview the very next day! I then attended the interview and the director was totally fine about having a part time intern! This is the story of my endless search for an internship and I have to say that my first couple of days at Mamba Advertising have gone on smoothly. The team is great and they are very friendly and we are all on first name basis! The agency mostly deals with advertising and this is one of my fears about having my internship there. But at this point, I really am happy and grateful to have gotten this internship!

Until next time!
