Work Placement: PR Management
Tasks given:

This company didn’t seem to have a lot of work for me to do and therefore, during some periods of time, I didn’t have any work to do but luckily I had my work experience booklet for me to do which prevented me from getting bored. I believe the reasons for me not having enough work to do is because the department that I was working for were extremely busy during that week as they had many deadline to make.
