About Me

Hi, I'm Shae. I've just recently started studying PR and so far I think it's fun. I don't have a lot of time for TV there days so don't ask me about current shows. I spend my free time with friends out sampling what I consider Australian culture. I think people should read more and tweet less. I have had about 50 different hairstyles in my lifetime. I think that there is always time in the day to talk to your friends. And I believe that life isn't short, you have longer to do it than anything else, so take your time to enjoy it.

Thats all folks

So my term at Lease Equity has come to an end, seems like a very brief time if you ask me.

So what have I learned while I was there?

Well apart from the previously mentioned lesson about politics I have been able to soak up a great deal of knowledge during my at work experience.

I have learnt what is is like to put together a tender document to go out in search of a new advertising company, just as I have learned that the 5 hours that went into producing that tender document may result in the company changing their mind and chose to keep things as they are.

I have learnt that it is safer to never delete anything because one day you may have a work experience student who is attempting to put together a marketing plan based on previous marketing strategies used which was made much easier by having them all there to print out.

I have found that sometimes finding sponsorship is just as simple as flicking off an email to the right person (it's not what you know it's who you know) and then it's done. Sometimes it's just about making a phone call and asking if they can still get you all the free stuff you got last year.

I have found that marketing, like fashion, can be recycled as long as you present it to people in the right way.

Mostly I have learned that just because it looks like you have spent the entire day hanging up a phone doesn't mean that you haven't done any work and it doesn't necessarily mean that you have accomplished nothing.

Oh and also that you should be nice to everyone no matter how horrible they are to you because you never know when it could bite you in the butt.
