| Nicole13 | Posted – 11/27/2007 9:31:07 PM | show profile IDPR is very organized whereas BWR is a little all over the place. If you are interning in the talent division of either firm you will not be assisting with events as the corporate and branding divisions deal with events. As an intern you will rarely, if ever, be working directly with clients. A majority of your time will be spent making press kits, but most important is the relationships you build at the company you intern at. In the scheme of things, there is hardly a difference between the two companies. Just go with the one that made you feel most comfortable. |
