At my internship, I was fortunate enough to work with many professionals and come in contact with a lot of key people in Memphis. I worked under public relations professionals with many years of experience. It was an honor to see how they interacted and functioned throughout their work environment. I believe that in order to become an expert in your field, it is best to hang around experts in your field.
I saw many things at my internship. I saw crisis management and a lot of media relations. The firm that I interned with mostly dealt with media relations. I was able to go to a groundbreaking event at a car dealership and witness how much public relations plays in organization of events and interacting with media during events.
I felt important while being there at the groundbreaking event with the firm. The reason why I feel important is because I was a part of the firm and we played such a big part in putting the event together. I can remember answering the phone for the owner of the dealership and relaying the message of the car dealership being interested in being a potential client. It’s amazing that something just as simple as answering the phone for the owner, led to the event taking place. It was a great feeling to know that I assisted in some fashion.
The best thing about being at the event was seeing my small work lead to something so big and also I enjoyed the free food. I ate as many donut holes as my stomach would allow!
This is me at the groundbreaking event. I enjoyed the donut holes lol.
