Summer Placement

After going through the rigours of the interview process for the summer placement with Ogilivy, I was met with great news that I had secured a place on the 10 week scheme. It was a bit of a shock really. Knowing that over 100 people had applied for a scheme that only takes 7 people, I was astounded!

It is now the day before I embark on a new journey and the nerves are showing. Questions / voices spinning around in my head, but all I know is that it will be an invaluable experience that I will never forget.

Packing seems to be more of a problem though. Trying to sort out what I will need for the next few months is a daunting process. However, making a list will hopefully sort out my lack of organisation at the moment.

From big city Bristol to London, it's a change you can't really compare with any other. Gone is the relative peace and quiet, and welcome the total utter mayhem of living and commuting in the capital. But at what cost? Having such a dire financial position, I am not only hoping this opportunity will help ease my financial worries, but it will provide a learning curve for my next few years at University. Furthermore, with working for such a well renowned company, I am optimistic that it will put me in a good position for my year in industry in year 3.

I will update my journey on a regular basis to show my progression as a pr practitioner, but also as a human being!
