Her advice is solid, but the other thing that they don’t teach in school or anywhere, for that matter, is confidence, maturity and thoughtfulness. Internships are a place to get noticed. Sasha certainly did.

I had a similar experience interning at energi PR in Toronto for the past four months. I truly believe that an agency is the best place to start your career – everything I learned about PR in college I was able to put into practice. In just one month, I was already working on a campaign, pitching media and helping organize an event.

Indeed, research into who your clients, stakeholders and media are is absolutely crucial for successful communication and pitching. To add, building relationships is just as important. You never know what client you will end up working with again.

I also learned the importance of staying organized. PR requires the ability to manage multiple projects and multitask effectively to meet deadlines. Keeping a planner on hand at all times is a good idea.

I wouldn’t trade my experience at energi PR for any other one. Good luck to everyone with their internships!

Congrats on your first few months! I wish you the best of luck in your future in PR. It seems as though you have found your niche!
