Well that's it, it's over I’ve finished my last day of work experience at Football West and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and I must say I’ve learnt a thing or two as well.
I believe I have come a long way to from that fella who got lost on his way to his first day of work experience all those weeks ago. I believe I have learnt a fair bit not only how PR functions in a working, breathing environment but a little bit about myself. I think before work experience I doubted my abilities but by basically being thrown in the deep end I think I’ve managed to swim.
Looking back I accomplished a lot in not a very large time frame, and for that I am proud of myself. It was incredibly rewarding seeing my work displayed on a state wide scale, I mean some small parts of my writing was in the same magazine as Craig Fosters, not many people can claim that.
My last day to be honest was quite routine I went there as per usual and was set to work on the around the grounds article which I did weekly, and then was tasked to finish my updating of the coordinates for the site. Unfortunately it wasn’t a very long day my mentor Chris, had to go to a conference so regrettably it was cut short. I will have fond memories of Football West, I was given a Football West shirt to commemorate my time there.
During my time there, there was one point where hit really hit that this was for real and surprisingly I wasn't behind a desk or even at Football West, of all places it was at the Leederville Hotel Night Club. I was drink with old work friends and a friend of a friend mine who I’d only had limited interaction with approached me and asked me if I was working at football west. It turned out she was a freelance football/sponsorship agent and she'd read my Around the Ground article, I was a truly humbling experience.
