As I begin to write this, it has been a whole 4 months, one week and two days since we started the Edelman Grad Scheme in which time, I’ve blogged three times. Uh-oh, I have some catching up to do! Since my last blog (way back in October) I’ve worked with three fantastic teams who have...

My first post on the grad blog comes a little way into the scheme – some serious blog negligence is about to be resolved (I’ll try to justify this by saying that I’m a serious advocate of the Slow Blog manifesto but really it’s just because I kept losing my login details…) I’ve...

  So far my limited number of blog posts have all been quite “work” focused– but life at Edelman is so much more than that. Take last Thursday night for example. The ‘Edel-Spook X Factor Karaoke Competition’. My current department, Healthcare took on Spook, my old department in the karaoke...

So after 6 wonderful weeks, I have finished my Digital rotation and I am writing this post from my desk in the lovely Healthcare department (more on this later),  but for now I have to try and sum up my time with Digital…not an easy task. I have definitely discovered a passion for social media and...

It seems weird to write this knowing I have now finished the graduate scheme…it feels like only yesterday that I started, dressed to impress in my finest shirt and skirt! Trying to look confident and assertive, when in fact covering up the nerves which were racing round inside me.  I chose the graduate...

I finished my second dip into Healthcare (once during my initial summer internship and again after going onto the graduate rotation programme), and what can I say – it was twice as good the second time around! Sure I returned to the glorious duties of media monitoring and collating some biggie reports,...

And so another one bites the dust! Four rotations down, two more to go. The finishing line is in sight. Yet again, it’s been a learning curve five weeks, working in an environment completely separate in terms of specialty and overall culture. For one thing, it is incredibly female dominated. No wonder...

Well, I think this is going to be my final blog posting on the Grad Scheme at Edelman. The scheme is ending at the end of next week. I cannot believe the past 8 months has gone past so quickly. So what now?! Heather and Clare have both been offered positions in two of the departments at the company which...

It has been over a month since my last post, partly due to the festive period but also due to an extremely busy first 3 weeks in my new rotation. I am now in Public Affairs (PA) and really enjoying it! I was very apprehensive going into this hardworking area of the office. I have very little political...

Five weeks have now flown by and we are well into October, hurtling towards Halloween. It’s definitely Autumn outside! I am now over half way through my time with the Digital team and know that when I have to move I am definitely going to miss the team. Work wise I have been given new things to...
