Linc Integrated - the Final Word

Hi to all!

Recently I completed my official twenty work experience days at Linc Integrated and couldn't have hoped for a better experience! My internship let me experience some amazing opportunities. More recently I helped organise the free Hi-5 concert at Garden city, and booked the Bondi Rescue boys for a fund raising opportunity at Karrinyup Shopping Centre.

I am so pleased to have been involved in this experience, and hope all my fellow PR work experience students have had just as good a time as I have!

Although my professional practice is over, I am continuing my work at Linc. It was such an honour to be asked if i wanted to stay on to help with some upcoming big projects of theirs, and such a relief that they enjoyed having me along for the ride!

Upon reflection I have found myself being so very thankful for all of those hard years of study: they have really paid off! I can't imagine having tried to complete my placement or anything similar without having all the background knowledge that Curtin have supplied me with. All I need now is to get a job!

The best thing I have learnt from my experience is time management, and learning how to 'juggle' my clients within the consultancy side of things. It's tough work but very rewarding and I would recommend to anyone looking for a placement, that a consultancy really opens your eyes to many different aspects of the job.

Thanks for listening to me all semester, and good luck to everyone in their own endeavours!

Regards, Tara

Linc's VIP fashion wrap up

Hello again from Linc,

Last weeks VIP Spring Summer Fashion Launch went off without a hitch....(thank god)! I'm happy to announce that the night was more fun than work, with over 2 months prep time, everything just flowed well. It really goes to show how important time management and attention to detail is for an event...even if it does only go for little over an hour!

Thank you to my helper on the night, you were all so fantastic! And to those who signed up and didn't come...how disappointing. It;s important to remember that in such a small place like our wonderful Perth, everyone knows everyone, there is only 2 degrees of separation! If worst does come to worst and you can't make it to something, take the time to pick up the phone and give the organiser a call, don't email! A phone call is not only more personal but shows that you have the guts to apologise in person!

Now that things have slowed down a bit, I'm getting to do a lot of media bookings for many different clients and consequently becoming an excel spreadsheet master! Who would have thought! It's time consuming and frustrating at moments but obviously a very essential job to get done!

Thanks for listening and hope all is as well in your placements!

Until next blog, Tara
