Unfortunately I was unable to attend work this week due to getting my toe dislocated in my Sunday football game. As disappointing as it is not being able to go, at least it was in football.
On a positive note doctor's say i should be right as rain for next though.

Two Sides to a Coin. Part 4
In my fourth week at Footballwest it’s almost like I've started to fell into a sort of routine, I can generally expect that my first job of the day will be to write the Around the Grounds article for the Footballwest website. The Around the Grounds article in basically a summary of past results and advertising upcoming matches for the weekend ahead, focusing on two games each issue to delve into greater detail.
After completing the Around the Grounds article general I would be put to work on either researching/developing stories for Beyond 90 (Footballwest's E-Magazine) or general Public Relation tasks. For instance press releases either internal to stakeholders and board members or external.
With saying all that above I can't always predict the full roll out of the day and my fourth week was a perfect example, for i got sit in on a conference on Beyond 90 and the May edition layout and stories. My opinion was also asked although I am but a junior and novice in the field I hope that I at least made one suggestion that would be put into consideration.

Two Sides to a Coin. Part 3
This week was a lot less hands on for in the sense that the second edition was published and released the day earlier, so it was the cool down time in the PR and Marketing area.
With saying that, there was still work to be done. It wasn't housekeeping but along those lines, I was asked to construct a sort of advertisement for the next round of premiership games. Which included past results, this is done every week. That was about the extent of my PR work that day, mind you Chris did go through the e-magazine with me and told me how it was constructed and formatted.
I was then sent to help "Beachy" with organising match cards for the junior clubs, sure it wasn't deep PR or Marketing work. Actually it had nothing to do with either but you can't be writing reports and articles that will be published all the time, you got to get your hands dirty and do the tedious, nitty gritty jobs. After all I am the work experience, bottom of the food chain, but it's better than just going home early it’s about being a part of a team. This week when I was there PR and Marketing didn’t have much on unlike the other departments so I was happy to help, and if we're busy next week I am sure if the roles were reversed they'd help in any way they could. It's all about the big t word, teamwork.
