The At Slate Pr, And The Overall Realm Of The...

This fall semester I interned at Slate PR, a firm that primarily represents actors, producers, and the overall realm of the entertainment industry. It is located fairly close to Penn Station, between the streets of 27th and 28th. Specifically, on 307 7th Avenue, Suite 2401. The internship took place on Monday and Wednesday’s from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm. Many tasks varied throughout the internship experience. There are daily tasks and specific tasks for the events team. Daily tasks include handling RSVP lists, pitching, organizing clips, sending packages, running errands on behalf of clients, researching, and finding and compiling contact information. Events responsibilities include handling guest check-in, handling media check-in, escorting talent down the red carpet, and setting up. Daily attire is business casual and events attire is to wear all black with sneakers. Coming to this point in figuring out what kind of steps I want to take towards my career has definitely been a con fusing place. From the age of sixteen I had a drive that I wanted to be involved in business. I went to the University at Buffalo before coming to Hofstra, and I began as a business major. But the work was not clicking. I felt so disconnected from it and I could not succeed in these types of courses. I thought maybe the classroom cannot teach you everything because there are all different types of learning so I decided to get hands on. My first internship was with a company called Tennis to the Max.
