In my first intern diary entry, I wrote that I was desperately seeking PR experience. To say that’s what I received would be an understatement. At Talk, Inc. I was given the opportunity to work on press releases and marketing plans. I received professional criticism on my creative work. I became a Super Bowl ad expert during the 2nd annual Talkies and a bocce ball enthusiast while promoting the Brigade Boys and Girls Club 3rd annual bocce ball tournament. I wrote blog entries, learned about Twitter and the wide world of social media, and will watch a Webinar in progress next week. Talk has allowed me to gain more than just experience; it has allowed me to become more prepared for my next step.
With only 25 days until graduation, I have begun the always enjoyable job search. It is through my internship at Talk that I have become better acquainted with the different aspects of public relations. It is because of the wide range of clients and work that we do here at Talk that I was exposed to every type of PR from corporate relations to media relations and pro bono work. Through my experiences here, I realized my favorite thing to work on would have to be social media.
I am now a social media enthusiast. I have a Twitter account, I am part of different Ning networks, I am on LinkedIn and I created my own blog. I have helped my friends set up their own accounts and taught them how to use the networks effectively. I enjoy establishing relationships with people I know I may never meet. I look forward to taking my newfound knowledge with me as I venture into the “real world.” I know that no matter where I go, I will miss the relationships I have formed, hearing Camden walk across the floor, and the welcoming environment to learn and ask questions.
