The Corporate Communication Department in Jawa Pos is an interesting and challenging place to have internship. Some aspects which make it interesting were meeting with clients, working with youngsters that have the same opinions, and gaining experiences for the writer. Other aspects which make it challenging were that being a copywriter and translator because those jobs were the additional jobs. So, the writer had to do it directly even though it was not mentioned in the short briefing before she did her internship. There are many qualifications to improve the company image, such as being an attractive, communicative, humble and friendly public relation staff. In this case, public relation staff must have a good communication both in Bahasa Indonesia and English. This matters because public relation is the face of the company in front of public. Public relation has its responsibility to plan publicity strategies and campaigns. The writer earned plenty of things during her internship such as improving communication skills, improving the writer’s creativity, improving the writer’s socialization skill. Those three things were very important for the writer because she did not work individually, instead she worked with some partners. So it was important for her to improve the communication skill in order to avoid misunderstanding during running the project. During the internship, the writer also got other important lessons which are to be more confident in facing public, communicating in public and delivering presentation with good communication. Although the writer faced the difficulties during her internship, the writer got unforgettable and sweet memories.
