I Applied For An Internship Programme, But Was Unsuccessful

I have graduated with a degree in Combined Humanities.  Whilst I was studying for the degree, I engaged in lots of writing, presentations both in seminar and workshop groups and having to submit my course work on or before the deadline date given.  I would like to develop more of my writing, organisational and communication skills in the public relations sector.

 

While studying for the degree, I had the opportunity of writing short stories weekly to receive feedback from my read out short stories to my then course colleagues and my tutor.  Presentations on different topics using the PowerPoint were given by me alongside my course colleagues assigned to the group I was in at the time.

 

 

Whilst studying at the university, one of the major objectives was working in a group or teams.  I did work in groups and teams a lot.  Part of it was giving presentations on different topics using the multimedia to showcase and advertise the visual topics chosen, making it relevant to our audience.  I would want to gain a wider experience on what I have studied at the university which is offered in the public relations industry. 

 

Team work is essential.

 

I hope to use my transferable skills, and develop my professional skills to achieve fulfilment and success in all aspects of my life and career.
