Cheers!

“I want to thank you, for giving me the best day of my life. Oh just to be with you, is having the best day of my life” – Thank you, Dido.

Thank you. No, seriously, THANK. YOU! So this is the end and what better to way to leave a lasting impression than to summarise what I’ve learned throughout my internship, as the Editor of The Place.

I’ve learned:

1. How to communicate with people within the music industry (celebrities included!) and how important it is to establish good working relationships.

2.What it means to be ‘the Editor’, including the work, organisation and managerial skills involved in an editorial role.

3. How to work and cope under pressure; and in turn, come out even better on the other side!

4. How to manage my time effectively to achieve set tasks, sometimes in a small time frame.

5. How to set realistic, time-bound agendas and goals, and achieve them!

6. How to get the most out of a stressful or bad situation, and potentially turn it into a good one.

7. How The Place rolls – I got an insight into what goes on behind the scenes and gain an understanding on how small tasks can equal big results!

8. How I’ve improved my writing, interviewing, communication, editing and team working skills.

9. How cool it is to be involved in the ever-changing music industry and to learn what opportunities are at my fingertips, now and in the future.

10. How much of an awesome opportunity my internship has been to learn, grow and gain. Thank you.

And there you have it, 10 things that I’ve learned; however it doesn’t stop there. I could go on, but I’d be here for days. It’s said that you never stop learning, so let the learning continue! Next stop, the radio!

Thank you for visiting Grier’s Place to be!
