From Russia with love
August 2006
This August saw Davies Associates welcomed Margarita Khartanovich, a Russian native, to its central London office for a month-long work placement. Maggie, as she likes to be known, made the most of her time providing support to the multi-national team.
Maggie was in London to study English during her university holiday. Having the opportunity, as part of her English course, to take part in a work-placement scheme was a real bonus for Maggie and a placement in PR was a natural choice. She had previously undertaken similar PR opportunities in her native Russia and had thoroughly enjoyed the experiences. It was a chance for Maggie to see how the industry in the UK differed from that in Russia and to gain an understanding of how a multi-national, medium-sized agency in London operates.
Her time was put to great use, and she was a pleasure to have at the agency –everyone was happy to give Maggie advice on her career plans and, of course, to have an extra pair of hands in the office.
