Advice for the Future

When I first thought about this assignment I was like, “what?!?” To be honest I have never been a blogger, this class blog is the first one that I’ve ever had. So between not having time for a blog and not being too knowledgeable about blogging, it’s an understatement when I say I haven’t the slightest clue about who’s blog I should write about.

So I decided to take the easy way out and visit Brazen Careerist and see who would catch my eye and it turns out that I found someone pretty interesting! Being a Public Relations major (or emphasis-same thing, right?) I decided that the most valuable blog would probably be someone in the same industry, so I came upon PR Interactive.

I am fully aware that finding a job after college is though, usually you have to start at the bottom and work your way up…but I had no idea it took this much preparation. Yes I currently have an internship for a smaller firm, The Raymond Experience. Prior to reading all about post graduation I thought one internship would be good enough to land a dream job at a top tier PR firm, turns out much like Meg Roberts, I was VERY wrong!

I think that the most valuable thing that Meg taught me is that you have to take advantage of every opportunity that gets thrown your way. I’m not so much attracted to the exciting multi-media aspect of it, because it obviously doesn’t have that much. What did does have is advice, valuable advice at that, and yes it will keep me coming back for more!
