Work Placement

As you may be aware I am in my 2nd year of study at Sunderland, hence the reason why I’m writing this blog as part of my Social Media module. I had the most fantastic opportunity of recently being able to go on placement in a real public relations agency – it was fantastic!

The agency was near to where I lived back at home which meant I could get there easily. I didn’t know what to expect so I made sure I went in with an open mind!

My placement only lasted for a week but gave me enough time to give me an insight into what I really thought it would be like.

I met some lovely people who were passionate in what they were doing and they made my time at the work placement that more enjoyable.

Surprisingly, I learnt a lot from the 1 week that I was there, with the tasks that has been given to me. I got the most amazing task of helping out a shoe company by doing some PR for them; the company was called CocoRose London – which I immediately fell in love with. Girls + Shoes = Sheer Heaven.

I would say that working in a public relations agency has not changed my opinion, if anything it’s made more passionate about working in this sector when I graduate.

Have you been on work placement or work experience? If so, how did it go? My experience may be different to yours and I’d be happy to read.

Much love,

Franky,
