First impression of PDQ management company

I finished my PR 393 at PDQ Management, a company thta operates as a public relations consultants to varoius clients, though the company prides or describes itself as a fully  intergrated marketing communications company.

The fist week of my intenship i was  a bit low in confidence mainly because of the daily long distance and difficulties in getting familiar to a working environment and  locating PDQ Company since i was not familiar with Petaling Jaya surroundings, moreover the language barrier, infact  most local taxi driver drivers do not speak English, so for the first week i had to use a map to reach work.

Because of the above complications, i was late for work the first day.

Upon arrival at PDQ, i received a warm welcome by the reception staff, within a few minutes i was introduced to my intenship boss whom io will be working under.

After a brief discussion with my intenship boss, i felt at home, later on she took me on a brief company tour to introduce me around to the company staff and other company divisions.

To my suprise, after being inroduced to the company, my intenship boss showed me a stack of English newspapers of which i had to start doing the media monitoring for the company's clients, this task served as an eye opener for what i should expect the public relations for the next couple of weeks.

The most notable thing with PDQ Management is the company is like a family, the Public Relations and The Event management groups work hand in hand hence they share the same place in the company. Lastly during lunch break we all mix tohether for laughs and jokes , and this creates a strong bond between the staff.
