Hi,

My Name is Rachael McCarthy I have just recently graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University (three weeks ago to be exact) with a business degree 

I have recently completed a three month work experience placement with Promise PR & Design Ltd based in Leeds in order to evaluate the direction my post student life is heading. I had a great experience there and got to work on some great projects, with plenty of responsibility along the way. With my desire to pursue a career in PR, I am here at Wolfstar on a part-time work experience placement. I am keen to learn about social media and to be given a fresh new perspective on PR and setting up my own blog, and to improve on this introductory blog.

I previously did a Shell Step Summer Placement for Castlegate Leisure Ltd (summer 2007) where I won two awards for solutions to waste management in a small business, and one for a press release courtesy of Recycling Action in Yorkshire (RAY) which amounted to a tidy sum of £150 in prize money.

I would say I have never been the archetypal student. I could be found in the library usually starting at 8am on work (madness right?!) and still living at home (much to my dismay,) but my main work ethic is that what you put in is what you get out, and also work hard, play hard. When I am not working I am an amateur adrenaline junkie and you can usually find me horse riding or looking into ways to move me one step closer to owning my own motorbike. 

I am sure my time at Wolfstar will enrich my PR experience and I will have some great opportunities to widen my knowledge in PR… I can’t wait to get started.
