From JCPR, I was thrust into the world of Public Affairs. It seems that 5 weeks (the length of a single grad rotation) is exactly the amount of time needed to get to know people and settle in to a department, so every new rotation feels like a bit of wrench from what has become somewhat familiar! But...

Well it has most certainly been a year to remember. I feel like I’ve come a million miles since this time last year. It’s almost exactly a year ago that I applied to the Edelman Grad Scheme. The weeks seemed to pass in a flash between application form, interview, assessment centre and job offer…all...

Our rotations seem to be spinning by at break-neck speed, and I have been terribly neglectful of my Graduate Blog – apologies! Before starting my rotation in the PA department, public affairs had always seemed like a somewhat alien concept to me. However, I now feel that I have a much more comprehensive...

When I found out my first rotation of the graduate scheme was to be in Public Affairs, I was pleased (and slightly nervous) to know that I would be jumping straight in at the deep end. With limited political knowledge, I was apprehensive about starting in an area where I knew my prior experience (or...

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...

A little late to leave the starting line on blogging about my experience here in the graduate rotation, but here it goes. I was fortunate enough to receive the opportunity to stay on at Edelman on the graduate scheme after a 3-month internship with the Healthcare team here in London.  What can I say?...

Coming to public affairs with very little experience in this field, I thought my background in PR would see me through, but it was certainly a jump right in at the deep end. They always say a challenge brings out the best in people, and I guess this is exactly what the graduate programme is all about. Remember...

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...

Well it’s my last day before Christmas so I thought I should write a blog post before we all go off on holidays. The office is so empty as so many people have already left. Hopefully the snow and ice will hold off and I will get out off London tomorrow morning, and the country on boxing day. I...
