I work
for a Redkite PR, a public relations firm that promotes brands, restaurants,
people, etc. They work with lifestyles: mainly food and drink.
My first
week of internships drastically improved over the course of the week. My
coworkers are amazing. I work with four women: Shelley, Jessica, Sarah, and
Hannah. I spent Monday feeling confused and unhelpful. The first day
was stressful, but they were very kind and accommodating. I had to make
tons of phone calls and do "clippings." Jessica basically taught me
everything. The day seemed to go by very slowly, and I had no clue what I was
doing.
The next
two days went well. Tuesday I spent do mailing and coverage reports on the Roux
family. Albert Roux and his son, Michel Roux Jr, are both very accomplished
chefs. My job is to write a short summary on every article that is printed
about them. Needless to say, that takes some time. On Wednesday, Jessica and I
got to package Maison Blanc easter cupcakes to send to various people. They
were so adorable! I really wanted to eat one, but there were no extras.
Thursday
I had a lot of coverage to do on Michel Roux Jr because he left the BBC
TV show MasterChef (similiar to Top Chef in America). I hope one day I can meet
one of the Rouxs. They seem like very interesting people. Thursday was very
sunny, so I got to go outside and walk around for 30 minutes. It was great! When I came back, Shelley
told me to call about twenty 5-star hotels in central London and get the names of their head concierges. It's awesome Redkite works with such high-class
people and businesses.
Friday
was fun! Jessica's birthday is Sunday, so we all went out for lunch. Shelley
(Jessica's mom/my boss) insisted on paying for mine. That was very sweet of
her. When we got back from lunch, I had to do more coverage reports and mailing. I would call my first week of internships a success, although I'm missing home a lot.
