I have been in contact with public relations and marketing practitioners for such a long time now and\u00a0it&#8217;s really given me a good insight about how things are done in those industries.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0benefit of having previous work experience is that you can share it with your teachers and classmates every single day. This is vital because it not only helps me to better understand all the theory we are studying, but it also widens other students minds and makes lessons much more interesting. And, of course, my experience also\u00a0helps me almost everyday to support a point or an idea I may have.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0have worked in a newspaper as a journalist for nearly 6 months and worked writing for corporate magazines for a year, as a journalist as well. Those have been my two big work experiences but I have also tried to collaborate with small projects too, which has enriched all that I have studied. This is why I suggest everyone should\u00a0try getting some working experience whilst at university: it keeps you up to date with the industry and it is the perfect time to practice all that you&#8217;ve learnt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before taking my Master&#8217;s I\u00a0worked for nearly two years as a journalist\u00a0and I quickly learnt that there are many different approaches to the way of working within this industry.\u00a0Every company is unique in a way and they all have different ways of operating.
