After finishing University, with a Degree in Public Relations, I (M21 at the time) started my career (albeit brief) in sports media and communication.
The Communications Manager was also new, and was 'rebuilding' the now 2-person department and asked if I knew of anyone from University who would be interested in joining (at this point, I was still an unpaid intern until the role was finalised)
So trying to help out, I source a buddy from my University course to join the Communications team (also as an unpaid intern), and the department starts gaining traction for Soccer (football) in our area and seems to be going well, along with receiving praise from other departments for my initiatives and quality of output.
Less than 3 months later, I get called in to a meeting by the relatively new Communications Manager, telling me he doesn't think Media and Communications is for me and I should look for a different career.
Less than a month later he decided to resign and do something different, leaving me at the time, devastated that I'd lost what I thought was a dream job and opportunity.
Now I'm so much happier working in construction!!
