What I’ve learned at Strive PR
As my time at Strive PR comes to an end, it only feels right that I reflect on my experiences here. I began working for Sherrilynne in June 2007 (having first volunteered for a few weeks earlier that year). I knew, as soon as I got stuck in, I was about to learn more about PR than I could ever do sitting in a classroom. In fact, last summer I learned more here than I had from two semesters of uni put together!
At first, I was scared of making mistakes, but I was reminded that I was now on a learning curve and all I could do was my best. I’m still on that same learning curve however now I have added confidence. Today, I have an increased knowledge surrounding the virtual world, social media and writing, to name a but a few of the tasks I’ve been involved in. Accolades are what really drive me, and when I know I’m doing a good job, I become even more determined.
In terms of my future, I can’t help but feel excited about delving deeper into the real world of PR with my upcoming one-year work placement. Wherever my journey leads me, my time at Strive PR has given me great training and prepared me well. I couldn’t have asked for a better platform to send me off!
