Stage Fright - How to Deal with Nerves!!!

So you've finally nailed down the dream job/interview/presentation/meeting, how do you manage those inevitable butterflies when it comes to crunch time??

I started my internship at Perth Theatre Trust (PTT) this week, and boy was I nervous! I remember being a little nervous for an interview with my potential supervisor, but that was nothing compared to this!!! I woke up anxious and fidgety after an restless nights' sleep - not necessarily conducive to making a good first impression! Luckily, my background is in theatre and performing, so I have a whole raft of tips and tricks up my sleeve when dealing with nerves.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who was faced with a few butterflies on my first day, and it certainly won't be the last time I feel nervous before attempting something. Hopefully these tactics are useful to some of you, even if it's only one or two. These methods are drawn from my many years performing in live theatre, but can be applied to anything - an interview, your first day at a new job, an important meeting or even those dreaded in-class oral presentations!

How to Deal with Stage Fright
1. Be prepared.
This is my number one, most important tip. I know from my experience on stage that the worst cases of stage fright come from feeling unprepared. If there is anything you can do to make yourself feel like you a totally prepared, do it! Whether this means reading up on notes before a presentation, practicing your interview answers or doing a test run of the drive to work to check out traffic, being prepared will help calm the butterflies enormously.
2. Get a good nights' sleep.
This might seem like common sense, but it is SO important to be well rested. Personally I find that I have a tendency to get a little cranky if I'm tired, and that's not what I want a potential employer or my supervisor to see on my first day! This might mean skipping something fun the night before, but at the end of the day we all have to decide what our priorities are. I was in bed by 9pm the night before my first day at PTT!
3. Arrive early
This goes hand-in-hand with getting a good nights' sleep - if you've managed to get to bed early, you'll have more chance of waking up the first time the alarm goes off instead of pressing 'snooze'. Nothing makes a worse first impression than arriving late. It's an easy way to make you supervisor think you are lazy and uninterested! In the world of theatre, if you aren't fifteen minutes early for rehearsal, you are considered to be late, so even being 'on time' isn't enough. And consider this: when you arrive late, subconsciously you are saying to the person you kept waiting that your time is more important than theirs - is that really how you want your supervisor/future employer/person marking your work to feel??
4. Take a deep breath
This tip is the simplest to implement, but a really important one to remember. When I get nervous, I have a tendency to race my speech and end up blurting out whatever pops into my head at an unintelligible speed. The best way I've found to combat this is simply to stop and take a deep breath. This usually gives me enough time to slow down and gather my thoughts so that I stop myself from saying anything unnecessary.

At the end of the day, nerves are a very personal thing, and some people deal with them better than others. My parting advice would be to try some of these tips for yourself, as well as anything else that keeps you calm, and figure out which works best for you. Maybe you perform better after a run first thing in the morning - something to burn off all that nervous energy. Maybe you need to have a leisurely breakfast in order to plan your morning so that you're ready to face the day. Or maybe you're like me, and you just need a few minutes to collect your thoughts and take a couple of deep breaths. Whatever method works for you, once you've found it, make sure you don't forget it! Nerves are designed to make our bodies function more effectively, and they can be extremely useful once you've learned how to manage them. Good luck!

Starting to Understand (What Representing Two Organisations is Like)

I'm one of those people who can't multi task. 

If my nanna were sitting here next to me, she'd make the typical comment, "you make a terrible woman," - apparently we're supposed to be multi tasking wizards.

So now that I'm identifying publicity opportunities for not just my student placement location, Guide Dogs WA, but also at a non-profit I have just volunteered for, I'm having a bit of an existential crisis.

My mind is constantly in news generating mode. It's like being stuck in a group conversation on Facebook where messages are being sent every half-second (or as fast as your inconsiderate friends can type).

News that's too late to act on, news that's happening tomorrow, follow-up stories to write in my diary for August 2016.

It's why I have such an affinity for media relations, and why I took on the role of media coordinator voluntarily for my non-profit organisation.

But after a few weeks of juggling both roles, I've realised I can only really focus on one person/group/organisation's media effectively enough to do the job justice.

Sure, I can switch from thinking about one to the other, but it's like writing half an essay then opening a new Word doc to begin the next.

Therefore I'm coming to realise that I'm a one-company woman. Having one company I can devote time to, channel my creativity into, and generally work to improve is my kind of job.

In other words, I'd be pretty pitiful interning at a PR consultancy. I bow down to everyone who is handling their placement in the consultancy environment at the moment. You amaze me.

Have a good week, everyone!

Professionalism: More than Meets the Eye

"Being a professional comes naturally" is a statement said by very few people on this Earth.

I've been at my internship with Guide Dogs WA for five days over a five week period -- and I love it. It's everything I could have possibly wanted in a PR internship.

My two main supervisors are teaching me all kinds of skills: how to call clients and fundraisers, how to use the various specialised programs they're subscribed to, how to lay out an e-mail, how to generate a contact list...

It's safe to say I'm learning the kinds of necessary hands-on skills I should know as an almost graduate.

Of course, I knew I'd be flexing these skills to give them a good workout. I hadn't anticipated, however, how much my professional skill set would change over such a short space of time.

I've always assumed I was quite professional -- but I never knew 'professionalism' meant more than just dressing for the office and keeping my (hilarious) jokes to an appropriate minimum.   

The main area professionalism has shown itself recently is in client and operating confidentiality.

I love to talk about things that excite me, whether its something new I've learnt online, a random book that has fully engaged me, or an interesting insight someone has brought up in my presence.

I'm like an excited puppy (which is highly appropriate given the location of my internship), but now I'm being forced to 're-train' my reactive sharing. 

What's saved me is my ability to keep necessary private information private; what's challenged me is my expanding definition of the word 'private'. 

In a peer-to-peer situation, or personal situation, this has meant identifying delicate information which needs to be handled discreetly. Whether it's information that could harm the person (or someone else) should it be found out, or information that is just best left unsaid, the distinction between private and public handling has always been straightforward.

In an office, the distinction is much more complex.

I've been privy to exciting meetings, stories, and other insights which make me want to run around and share the fantastic news, stories, and thought processes. Knowing that information has to stay in the office is sad, but the lessons I've learnt on professionalism and discretion have been invaluable.

Regardless, I'm proud of what has been has been a very impressive show of restraint!

About to enjoy reading everyone else's blogs, so will see you in the comment sections.

Come Away With Me... On A PR Adventure to Malaysia.

Malaysia was good to me, and I had a fantastic time working as an Intern for a PR consultancy named GO Communications.

(Photo from Go Communications LinkedIn)

The staff at the office were very welcoming and quickly helped us settle into our new roles! I remember that first day, nervously walking into the office, only to be met by the kindest smiles and greetings all around the room. They even took us out for drinks after work on our first day  (Mind you, it was a public holiday the next day).

I had the honour of enjoying this amazing opportunity with two fellow Curtin PR Students, whom I was able to build great friendships with (another bonus)!

Coming into the internship, I wasn't really sure what the next 4 weeks at Go Communications would entail. I've always felt unsure of what the day-to-day tasks of a PR Professional included. Yes, the past three years at University taught me things like writing media releases, event plans and PR plans, but honestly, I was still confused on how to apply these skills in the workplace! Would I walk in everyday and get handed a media release to write? Was the structure the same as what I was taught? and how long did I have to write one?... The answers to these questions, and many more, became clearer throughout my journey at Go Communications.

In my first week, I observed the workplace culture at Go Communications and how different this was to Australia. Firstly, the working hours were 9 am to 6 pm, as opposed to 9 -5  in Australia. We also worked in groups ('Elite' was the name of my group), and each group was assigned different clients to manage (some of my group's clients included Ricoh Malaysia, Tourism Victoria and Nippon Paint). Another important distinction was that Go Communications operated around 3 different languages; English, Malay and Chinese. Media monitoring therefore revolved around coverage done in all 3 languages (this meant more work, but Challenge accepted)!

By the end of my first week at Go Communication, I'd already begun to feel like a true PR Professional, despite the fact that I hadn't written one media release yet! I learned that there was more to PR than just writing media releases everyday.

To find out more about my PR Internship adventure in Malaysia, stay tuned for my next blog.

Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone!

Blog post number two and I am excited because I had my first ever media release sent through to publish in one of my local newspapers! and I can thank it all to personalisation - Please Read Below:

It had been drummed into my head at university over and over again.  Tailoring your message and approach when delivering media releases to journalists or the media – It’s all about personalising your message and creating relationships, but most importantly showing that you took the time to click your mouse a few extra times and find the right name and email to deliver your release. Giving a damn really does get you places it turns out – crazy huh?

Anyway back to the start, now my article itself isn’t life changing but here it is:

My exact Release printed in The Mandurah Coastal Times - 28 May 2014

As you can see it is on bicycle theft a particularly dry topic, which is where I believe personalising my approach got my release over the line! One fine day on my internship Andrew forwarded me an email from the Brand Manager General Insurance & Life, Chantelle, with some interesting bicycle theft statistics and facts. Andrews task for me was to create an interesting enough media release with the sole focus of promoting HBF’s home and contents insurance, but obviously in a sneaky-sneaky professional type of way, not ‘salesy’ ;)

Some interesting facts I learnt from writing my story is that:

• Bicycle theft is carried out more by adults than those under 18; and
• Bicycle theft happens more around the home than out and about.

Pretty interesting! Back to my point – the way I tailored my approach to get my story noticed by the right people was more research. Another marvellous talent university not only taught me well but thankfully drummed into my brain cells. Given that my story was on theft, targeting those who experience what I was preaching was an obvious solution.

I went on my jolly way researching the West Australian Police Department site for crime statistics and data. Analysing which suburbs across WA had the highest theft rates from multiple PDF documents. From this data I then established which newspapers corresponded with the high theft suburbs and began drafting email cover letters. The successful email wrote:

                  “Good morning Jill,

         Latest crime statistics from the West Australian Police Department indicate that the peel district has the second highest crime rates in the metropolitan region, the first being the south east district.

         The attached media release on bicycle theft may be of interest for the ‘Near you’ section of the Mandurah Coastal/Pinjarra Murray Times. The release details an alarming statistic that just over half of bicycle thefts occur around residential properties. And theft by adults is higher than those under 18.

                           Thank you”

And that’s that! My own little piece published for the whole of the Mandurah community to read.

Speak to you all soon – be safe and happy!

The four to 1four60 Ratio

First of all, Welcome ladies and gentlemen to my blog! Okay, so I presume you are all wondering what my little ratio is all about. It is simply a reflection on how I feel about internship so far.

The four to 1four60 ratio can be broken down into three simple points:

•  The first ‘four’ reflects how many days I have attended my internship;

• The 1four60 is a breakdown of my 4 years studying into days – 1460 days give or take  a leap year and all that confusion;

• The sum of all it all is that I feel in my four days at HBF I have gained more ‘useful’ and practical information than I have over the course of my Public Relations and Marketing double major. Never has the term public relations become so definitive to me, it is amazing how hands on experience can just concrete every single aspect or theory ever learnt at uni!

Anyway, let's get back to basics – I commenced my internship on 5 May 2014 at HBF Head Office on Murray Street being accepted immediately into the not-for-profits sixth floor communications family. The sixth floor is a welcoming mix of public relations, communications, marketing, events and the health funds CGU and Pharmacy sector.

My little ‘family’ includes my very approachable supervisor Andrew who is head of PR at HBF, and four driven young ladies Fleur, Jodie, Chantelle and Shae, each respectively taking care of: external public relations, internal communications, social media platforms, media and communications, working extremely close together.

Within my four days, I discovered the “bread and butter” of public relations, as Fleur so simply puts it. Pivotal to public relations is real life cases as they embody compassion and interest as well as relatable content. This “bread and butter” had me tediously stalking the HBF Run for a Reason Everyday Heroes page for five solid hours, finally emerging with a mere, but rich, six possible media grabbing stories *praise the lord*. The stories were eye opening, many being about family losses due to illness, prompting gratitude for simply being granted another day in this life, but brought to attention the realities of how cut throat the media industry can be – with only truly individual, interest sparking stories making the cut.

The afternoon of my fourth day involved taking a trip with Fleur to the local gym, meeting up with Today Tonight journalist Cassie Silver to film a brief clip for the HBF Run for a Reason Ultimate Runners Playlist segment aired on Today Tonight in May just before the run. Oh my goodness, did I learn a lesson that day - did any of you know that it takes around 45 minutes to an hour to film 20 seconds worth of footage to air on Television? Crazy right? I thought so!

One area of the internship which I guess is both a negative and positive however is the timing. I work three/four days per week which means my PR experiences at HBF are limited to smaller activities able to be completed in my two internship days, that is the negative. Here is the positive: I get to experience varied tasks relating to all different activities and initiatives held at different times of the year! Either way I am just so happy that I was given this opportunity to start with!  

Until my next blog,

Have a wonderful week!

Going twice for a photo shooting session and standing a whole day– this forms part of the job

¡Buenas tardes everyone!

Today I will talk about my photo shooting sessions experience at Publico/Creative. After three weeks of learning about how designers deal with clients for billboard, magasines, business cards, posters, pamphlets or brochures which were really interesting, I was asked to go for photo shooting sessions with our photographer, Robert. I was very happy as I was able to see how things work before the designers edit the pictures. I learnt a lot of things in terms of photography and this can be very helpful. When taking into consideration that Publico/Creative works with different clients at the same time and having only one photographer, learning about photography is an important tool where you can easily go yourself for photo shooting sessions. During my internship, photo shootings sessions were the tasks which I did regularly. At the beginning it was amazing to see the different perspectives of taking a picture. After several days, I was promoted if we can say J, where I was in charge of supervising the photo shooting sessions to ensure that all the products were present. It was like a checklist to be sure that nothing missed. What was painful if I can say, was that we were asked several times to go again for photo shooting sessions as the client wants more pictures. Again, standing a whole day to take more pictures and finally the clients choose only 5 pictures among the 50 shots; this was horrible but it forms part of the job. During those photo shooting sessions, I was able to experience this situation about how the clients themselves are uncertain and the hard job rely on yourself. Anyway, it was a good experience to see the photography world, the different perceptions of taking a picture before the final step.

See ya in the next post guys

International PR: Working Offshore

Congratulation to MATAORA, which is opening a new office in Hong-Kong, in the territory of the 'nine dragons'; Kowloon by the end of August   :)


Mataora, having 10 years’ experience in Design & Web has created a well reputed name internationally. Unfortunately not yet in Mauritius, We did work with a lot of Mauritian companies but mainly offshores; especially with French clients.

Since the beginning of my Internship, I’ve been mainly working for international clients of Mataora , namely Weedo-IT, a French advertising agency; specialized in creating Internet traffic and acquisition of qualified contacts. That is a great experience since you have the opportunity to be in contact with people from a different culture and share ideas, different approaches to solve problems as well as learn from them. You have to learn how things are done three and adapt to their culture to be able to create a good and satisfying project.

These things were really assets in term of personal and professional development. The only disadvantage that I can see is that, in my case, is that since we have been mainly working with international companies (Total/Peugeot/Intermarché/Nikon/WWF (NGO)/), our team is always trying to apply French PR & Marketing strategies for the Mauritian clients’ projects that do not always go well.

'Doing it all'… Multitasking prone to PR!

Hello World!

It’s Yashni, intern of Odysseus PR agency...

Time really flies when you are having fun or should I rather say when you are busy. I have already completed 10 days of internship and I can say that PR is a fun department to work in because it’s a mix of almost everything. I’m leaning that people in PR have to simultaneously be able to handle different tasks. 

I guess you must be wondering why this title? 
Well this week has been an interestingly hectic one for me, the event is tomorrow and up till yesterday I had to run after the catering company for confirmation, to ask for the menu/price lists, and look for quotations of wine for the cocktail on Friday. At the same time, I had to research and write for the new website that I’ve been assigned to do and also to contact photographs, diving centers, hunting companies, etc.. to persuade them to give the right to publish some of their materials without any compensation. And I can say that I’m proud of myself for I have successfully been able to persuade them. I have realized that multitasking is a must in PR – varied clients, work, deadlines, etc…, all necessitate the ability to juggle multiple disparate tasks at once.  

Come and join us at SVICC on 26th & 
27th July 2012 for the 'Salon de la Com'

The event is at the door and during the whole week there have been meetings, appointments, brainstorming, mailing – and I have been realizing that - you just learn as you go and you take it all in. I can say that right now at Odysseus, you don’t have a day, an hour, or a minute for yourself. 

 But still I love my internship! I’m always so busy currently, and each day has flown by so fast, but I’m loving the experience. I know maybe some could have expected to hear some negatives about this internship, but besides the lack of sleep and lack of social life, I could not be happier! It has been an amazing way to meet people who are interested in this field. I’m already SO glad I decided to do it and I just can’t wait for tomorrow!

What about you? How far are you into your internship? Are you enjoying it?

Let me know in a comment!

First week in the shoes of a PR intern

Hello everyone...
I am Yashni, a 3^rd year BA Mass Communication student studying at Charles Telfair Institute, Moka. I am actually interning in a PR Agency, Odysseus. The agency mainly focuses on public relations and event planning.

As I know that nearly all PR students would be doing an internship in the future, are actually participating in an internship program, or dream of some day working in the PR field, I am going to reflect on my weeks interning so that you can indirectly learn from my experiences.

What would I mainly be focusing on?

Surely not about my day-to-day clothing selection, the food and shopping I did...

 I will be mostly laying emphasis on what I have achieved in my first week as an intern and also about some of my responsibilities within the agency.

I can't really believe it's been a week already since I have started interning at Odysseus. It somehow seems longer, but all in all I am pleased with how the week has gone. The overall feelings I have observed in myself this week have, aside from a sometimes debilitating tiredness towards the end of each day, been mixed and often very exciting, stressful, nerve-racking but constructive.

Unlike the usual first weeks of work in any organisation, my first week has been quite hectic consisting mostly of managing the invitations by contacting all the PR, Marketing, Event and Communication Manager, and confirming the VIP lists in regards to the ‘Salon de la Com’, the first Communications Trade Show in the Indian Ocean which will open its door at Swami Vivekananda International Convention Centre on the 26 and 27 July 2012.

I cannot deny that it certainly took me some time to really understand what they are demanding from me and becoming more comfortable with the working place. However, my director was very understanding and flexible which eased me a bit. He did find some time out of his busy schedule to discuss the work with me, introducing me to the other staffs, which was great of him. By this point, I think I have met all the members of the team who without exception have been supportive, welcoming and encouraging.

My day at Odysseus normally starts with passing through all the newspapers of the day and looking for news for media clippings purposes. Currently, I am tasked to research and write for the company’s website whereby they are targeting a specific European market. I can say there are plenty of research work waiting for me this week. Will keep you guys informed on the details.

If I were to give you people an advice it would certainly be - When you walk in every day, just ask yourself how you can make the most out of this opportunity. It is high time for you to learn to accept criticism even though at times it can be a tough pill to swallow. Remember that only those who care will make the effort to guide you in the right path. You want to make PR as your career right? So take the maximum knowledge available from your supervisors and use this opportunity to the maximum to grow into a PR Pro!

Well, that’s all I have for today.

I will leave it to you now: Are you planning to do a PR internship soon? Have you started? What is your internship like so far? If you’re not interning yet, do you want to sometime in the future?

Databases, research, phone calls...OH MY! Loving the life of a PR intern

Hi all!

Just a quick introduction, my name is Jeacinta Martino and I'm in my final semester of a PR and Marketing degree.  I'm completing my work experience placement at Devahasdin, a West Perth PR consultancy.

Ok so now to get into it.  I've been so jam packed crazy I haven't really had time to start my blog entries.  I am just a little under half way through my internship and I am loving every moment of it.  It really is a great feeling to be in the real world of PR and realising what you learnt is so relevant to what you are doing.

So far my tasks have included lots of databases, lots of researching, lots of phone calls and lots of running around!  Basically I'm diving head first into whatever they want and need me to do and loving every minute of it! I am learning that you can never have too many contacts or too much research when working toward putting an event or product or client out there.  We all learn that networking is one of the most valuable tools in Public Relations but you don't realise how much goes into getting the right and most relevant contacts depending on what you're doing.

I've also been doing bits and bobs for certain tenders they have at the moment.  I am LOVING seeing the process they go through as well when working with their clients.  You put together one proposal, meet with the client, get their notes, add yours, go back to the drawing board with their considerations in mind and then back you go again until every objective is met.

Finally, I am becoming quite the confident and professional telephone answering and communicating person! It truly is an important art form as you spend A LOT of your time calling and answering the phone and the way you answer it or speak through it says a lot about yourself and the company you are representing to the person on the other end.

Well for now thats me!

I'll keep you posted on the happenings of this little intern...

Modern Slavery

The concept of slavery isn't something foreign to us; in fact, history has taught us that some of the greatest empires were built on cheap labour, be it minimum wage or via slavery. In Egypt, it took an estimate 20 to 30,000 slaves to erect the Pyramids of Giza; while a quarter of the entire population of the Roman Empire comprised of slaves.

Although slavery has been abolished in the majority of most developing nations today, the basis of this ideology still exists in numerous industries, large and small. Large number of organisations employ numerous strategies with aims to generate sufficient revenue to attain maximum profit in the industry they're in. With that in mind, the concept of modern slavery can be introduced.

As a graduand, unpaid internships are pretty much a rite of passage that many hope it would eventually lead to paid, full-time employment. In saying that, the work and 'designated assignments' an intern has to complete can sometimes be repetitive, exhausting and often not what you were expecting.

The last official day at my placement at Rossmoyne Senior High School (RSHS) saw me commencing my shift with a fresh dewy face. Nine hours later, I walked out looking like Lindsay Lohan after a hard's night of partying; with sweat running down my face, smudged make up and hair that could nest a couple of bird's eggs.

What was expected to be an easy day, filled with small but joyous last minute tasks, turned out to be a day potentially similar to the interns who work for Chief Editor of Vogue US, Anna Wintour. It saw me driving to the seven primary schools associated with RSHS while trying to organize some last minute preparations for the staff’s final morning tea before the term ends. In addition, four press releases that will be issued once school resumes from it’s two week break had to be written an hour before I was scheduled to leave; and instructions and the fact sheet for those who will be operating the alumni program after my time at RSHS ends. Therefore with all that work, there was no choice but to, just like most days, skip both morning tea and lunch while staying on past my scheduled finish time. I guess when it is your last day as an unpaid laborer, the world would try and maximize all they can out of you.

With that amount of complaining, I realise I may come across as an ungrateful and lazy intern, however my feelings are actually quite the opposite. Yes the workload may be intense, and often physically exhausting but the reality of it is that without this internship, I wouldn’t have received a large amount of auxiliary benefits including industry contacts, experiences that were once taught in classrooms, and an improved resume that can potentially lead to employment in a similar field. In saying that, I am extremely thankful for this experience, as I do believe it has broadened my perspective on not only the public relations industry but as a ‘grown up’ individual.

Zaccaria Group Intern... That's Me :)

Hello fellow PR students, My name is Naz and I recently landed my internship at Zaccaria Group. I'm a couple of days in and it's been interesting... a bit boring at times... but I can see that I will learn a lot by the end of it.

Zaccaria provides many services, they offer artist management, concert management, special events, they have a non-for-profit organisation "Strike a Chord", and they also have a fashion label. I know right, it sounds like a massive organisation but NO! With a small staff of only 9 they all seem super human, juggling so many tasks and responsibilities all at once.

Due to a big business trip and the manager taking the majority of the Zaccaria workforce overseas I spent my first few days in the office with only 3 of the Zaccaria team, I was assigned to Jay Still (special events). By the way did I mention they don't have an internship program and have only ever had 1 intern in the past? The first day I felt more like a burden rather than someone there to help, I think this was because Jay wasn't used to allocating work.

The second day was definitely more hectic, I spent most of the day updating documents, answering the phone, making phone calls and preparing incoming and outgoing mail. As Zaccaria are managing the Cold Chisel concert here in Perth, I was answering calls all morning from the public complaining that they couldn't purchase tickets online. I had to inform them that they OLD OUT in less than 10 minutes, which got some not-so-happy responses.

The most exciting thing that happened was I attended a production meeting with management from the Burswood entertainment complex regarding the "Strike a Chord Ball' taking place on the 2nd of September in their grand ballroom. It's a big event, with host Megan Gale and an expected attendance of 1000.

Zaccaria is also competing against Cape Town, South Africa for an INCREDIBLE event to be hosted here in Perth. It hasn't been confirmed yet so I better not say what the event might be... but as soon as it's released to the public I'll let you know :)

Last Note: I found out the Zaccaria Group uses a social media company to manage their online social media (facebook+twitter). I think it's great to make sure the right info is constantly being communicated BUT I think it lacks a personal touch and too many posts and tweets can get annoying. What do you think???
