24th February 2011

A student from Finningley has landed a plum job in the world of social media after learning the ropes at a leading Lincolnshire PR agency.

Carly Smith (20), a third-year marketing and public relations student at the University of Lincoln, has been hired as a social media account handler by multi-award-winning digital marketing agency TAMBA Internet in Staffordshire.

For the past year she has been a Rising Stars undergraduate trainee working as a part-time intern at Shooting Star PR in Lincoln.

Carly will take up her new role in July and is already looking forward to working at an agency which lists Kylie Minogue, The FA, Carphone Warehouse, UKTV and Comic Relief amongst its clients.

“Knowing that I’ve got a job after I leave university takes a great weight off my mind and allows me to concentrate fully on my last few months of study,” said Carly.

“As a job applicant you’re always told to look for a company that reflects you as a person so that you can successfully represent their values and company attitude, and this is something I have achieved.

“I believe that my work placement at Shooting Star PR contributed towards being chosen and I would recommend it to anyone. I can go into my job in July knowing that I am familiar with the processes used in the work place.

“I’m by no means the finished article and I am aware that I still have a lot to learn, but I am much more confident now about entering employment.”

Shooting Star PR is now looking for its next Rising Stars trainee. The position is open to anyone who is studying a relevant degree at the University of Lincoln.
