Round 2 at the Internship

Commuting today was not as bad since I knew what I was doing. The train kind of stunk more than yesterday and I believe taking the train will get old soon. I like the walking though. In the morning it energizes me for work and in the afternoon it feels nice since I sit most of the day.

When I got into the PR firm, I worked on a publicity clip report for, lets call them client 6. Unfortunately, I forgot to copy the clips before sending them to FedEx Kinko's. Kinko's said they could not copy the clips because they would infringe on copyright laws. They accidentally decided to start copying the wrong clip report, which was actually an old clip report that was suppose to be used as a sample. I'm hoping they will not charge us for the mistake and copy the correct clip report. In all, I think the publicity clip report will look good for client 6 after I copied the clips and resent it to the printers.

Then I did some internal PR work. I'm working on creating an interview schedule for graduated college students to meet with the president of the company. I made a interview time chart and e-mailed the interviewees all they need to know for the interview. I also tried to start a vendor list of other firms and companies we work with to achieve clients' business goals. So far, I have one vendor... Then I started working on how to compile a media contact list on my own. The cisionpoint program is really helpful and not difficult to use. Though, after the Kinko's mishap this job was reneged from me.

I'm going to keep my working face on, try harder tomorrow, and try to pay attention to every detail. Within two days in a PR firm, attention detail seems like an extremely important part of the job.
