Having just finished a degree in Events Management at Brighton University, I find myself in the exciting (and daunting) position of trying to choose a career path. I have done work experience in Events (Jersey Live, London Fashion Week…) and Marketing (Bedell Group, Carbon Black…) and so really wanted to broaden my knowledge and gain some experience within the PR industry.
After a few e-mails and an interview, I find myself working mornings at Crystal PR, being supported financially by a different afternoon job. I have only worked at Crystal PR a short time but have gained a huge amount from the experience. Seeing how the office is managed, the e-mails that are sent to and from clients and being part of the daily grind has really given me a taste of what it would be like to work in PR. In my opinion, working at Crystal PR has been hugely helpful in increasing my understanding of PR, to learn best practice and the role PR plays in every day life!
The value of doing work experience is immeasurable, not only for one’s CV, but also the people one meets make each different job worthwhile. I go on now to New York to gain experience at an international level, however, the experience I have gained at Crystal PR will no doubt stand me in good stead for the future in whatever career path I choose to follow.
