PR(e)View

Internships, jobs, writing tests, new media, networking, blogs, podcasts, agencies, corporate PR, crisis, assistant account executive, account executive, pay, career, education…those are some of the words that come to mind when I am thinking of my next career steps. In a few weeks I will be graduating with a public relations degree, and I will be entering the PR profession full-time.

Even though there are many sites about public relations in general, and there is PRSSA which is a great organization for someone who wants to learn about PR, I felt there is something missing on the Web: a perspective of someone who is starting a public relations career. I would like to use this blog to offer you my perspective and to share with you advice I have received from some amazing people in the PR industry. I hope you will contribute to this site with your own PR View and offer others a quick preview of what PR is like.

I am not sure where I will end up going with this blog, but you can help me shape it. Comment, send me emails, call me, text me, Skype me, stop me on the street and tell me what you think. I am a strong believer that a person cannot advance without the help of others. I hope that we can all support each other to become successful public relations professionals.

“There is no such thing as a “self-made” man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our thoughts, as well as our success.” –George Burton Adams
