I’m well into my second week as the newest Talk intern and I absolutely LOVE it! When I came in to be interviewed I
was eagerly greeted by Camden also known as the lovable and adorable “top dog.” I found out later in the week that I had been chosen and I could not have been more excited! From the bright pink walls, friendly employees and the “top dog” it is easy to say that I immediately fell in love with the place!
The first day began with a tour of the office, meeting the rest of the staff and being given a general overview of Talk and all that it does. After I settled in, my assignments began. My first task was to proofread a print ad for a client. Writing, proofreading and editing have always come naturally to me so this assignment was a delight! Throughout the rest of the week, I was given the opportunity to draft press releases and work on a media pitch for an upcoming event. These projects require me to write and be creative which are two things that I enjoy doing, especially together. I have also updated the client contact list, learned new computer programs and sat in on the morning staff meeting.
Since starting at Talk, I have been exposed to information and learned new things that I would not get in a classroom. It is my first glimpse into the real world and how a Public Relations firm works. I’m finding it to be very intriguing and exciting! Even though I just started at Talk I know that through this internship, I will gain knowledge and it will provide me with experience that I could not have gained anywhere else. I look forward to working on client projects and updating y’all on what is going on in the Talk world.
