(I have always been told how important it is to blog regularly when interning - I am yet to understand why as I highly doubt people want to know the very ins and out of every job I am faced with - but I thought a little insight every now and then is OK.)
Two weeks ago today I began a summer internship at Label PR - a fashion, beauty and lifestyle PR company. With their office based in Manchester, I have had to relocate for my time there - I say relocate, however I will be commuting home every weekend. (I have become pretty accustomed to living out of a suitcase over the past few years, it has become somewhat of a normal routine to me) Luckily I have been able to arrange to stay with friends, something I am hugely grateful for, and will at least have company in the evenings. My first two weeks have flown by and I feel I have settled into the job really well. The idea of working in PR has always appealed to me however I myself, along with numerous others around me, have never fully understood the job role. So it's been very refreshing to work in a successful company and witness first hand how it all works and what it all means. It's definitely something I can see myself entering into permanently in the future.
One thing I have learnt is how important comfort is when interning, and by comfort I mean my car and my Birks. Running errands is often tiring, especially when in a big city (don't get me wrong, when running errands means you have to go to Harvey Nics to buy new products, I will run errands all day everyday) but it's SO important to have comfy shoes and a car to go back to. I will not make the same mistake again of wearing heels OR turning simple 20 minute car journeys into tedious hours of pain by walking to and from buses.
That aside, it is already apparent to me that the experience and knowledge I will gain during my internship at Label is essential to my future and will hopefully be the first of many!
