Show profile Hide profileI have just completed my diploma in Public Relations with the University of South Africa and currently waiting for my graduations which will be held on 24 March 2015. I have over one year practical experience in public relation and three years' experience in volunteering positions.
I have developed strong writing, planning (communication strategies), researching, production (DTP), event management and media liaison in my studies and in my work as a volunteer editor for the west conference which is a religious church organisation under the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), and in my work as a volunteer marketing director for COMSA (Communication Student Association) UNISA, a student structure for communication, and PR students in the University of South Africa. And also I wrote three press releases for Previdar online magazine about "Gert Johan Coetzee" DJ Zinhle and Terry Pheto to inform readers about them being on the cover of Previdar.
I have written, designed and produced newsletters for the west conference, effective posters for the COMSA UNISA. I have also helped in organizing the west conference's induction, seminars, conventions and leadership counsel. My strong attention to detail and excellent communication skills are demonstrated in those documents I mentioned above.
During my course I received an excellent grounding in public relations practice, I gained experience in dealing with the media, dealing with different people from different backgrounds as I had one practical module (PREPRAC), this module had six task that I had to complete, writing, organizing an event, preparing checklists, designing brochures, invitations and DTP, Media Liaison, and Communication strategies.
I also gained experience as the editor of the newsletter for the west conference, where I was designing the newsletter, taking photographs of events, writing articles for the newsletter and handling social media accounts (twitter and Facebook). I also gained experience as a marketing director for COMSA UNISA, where I was strictly handling the social media, marketing the events (Media seminars, workshops, and conferences) to students and by also inviting media specialist from SABC, local community radio stations and newspapers, and entrepreneurs who run their own media businesses.
