As my time as an intern has come to an end, it is a perfect occasion to reflect on the time spent at Serenity.

Studying during the final year at university can be very challenging. You have to constantly manage your time, adjust any meetings and work to your schedule and still have time to clean your house, cook and have a social life. So why would you even think about adding an internship to your tasks?

I have been taught to always take every opportunity that arises and make the most of it. During my time at Serenity, I have expanded my knowledge and skills in event management and administration, which have proven to be extremely useful when talking to recruiters at various companies. I even managed to secure a full-time graduate job within 2 months of finishing all my exams! 

Before starting the internship I was unsure of how I could become more professional in a workplace, be it on the phone or facing the client, but at Serenity, I have been given the chance to learn that through practice. When you put the knowledge you have gained at university into practice, and the practical one into writing coursework, you realise how much easier it is to understand the nature of events and the logistics behind them.

So to my fellow students beginning their final year of study in September - do not be afraid to take up the challenge. A few months of very hard work will pay off once you finish your studies!
