Increasingly I have chatted with students studying PR and communications at universities who want to point out how irrelevant they think their courses are to “the real world” of working in journalism, corporate or agency PR.  But really folks, relax.  A uni or college course cannot prepare you for the specifics of any [...]]]></description>

Q.  Reading Brad Culp&#8217;s post confirms what I&#8217;ve heard about journalists switching to public relations, but do a lot of PR professionals switch around to different industries within PR?   
One of the major challenges I&#8217;m finding as I near graduation is deciding which industry I want to land my post-grad internship or job with. It seems [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   Brad Culp  
During the three years I spent as a journalist I probably uttered the words, “I hate PR people” at least 200 times. That probably sounds a little surprising considering my father has made a career out of public relations (and it paid for my journalism degree), but I always reasoned that he [...]]]></description>

Q.  What are PR agencies looking for in the writing tests they give to applicants?  How are the tests scored, and by whom?  Do agencies want to confirm that you have basic writing skills and have the potential to improve, or are they looking for perfection?  There isn&#8217;t much information about this, so any insight [...]]]></description>

Twenty-plus years at agencies and in-house roles in the US and London have taught me a few things about success in the PR business. For one, it is elusive. PR is a popular path for many early in their professional lives, but how many remain after five or ten years? Far too many [...]]]></description>

2010 has brought a new sense of optimism in the business and public relations worlds.  Companies are hiring more aggressively, albeit with increased “skill set” selectivity.  According to a Q4 Quick Survey, half of the Council of Public Relations Firms’ members anticipate and increase of hiring activity in 2010.

You read the online job posting, send your resume and later learn that the job was filled with an internal candidate.  Sound familiar?  More than half of open jobs are being filled with internal employees, according to a new study by CareerXroads, a New Jersey-based staffing-strategy consultancy. 
Fortunately, the study is bullish on 2010 hiring, with 48% [...]]]></description>

Many of my friends are teaching one or two college courses, and a few have moved into full-time faculty positions.  One friend gave up his long and unsuccessful search for a PR position in order to return to college for a year to get a teaching certificate.  He&#8217;s now an elementary school teacher.   
In each instance, these friends have had a variety of [...]]]></description>

As a parent who had the ability to help support sons in unpaid summer internships, I know the value of of such experiences, although I don&#8217;t like the concept.  Unpaid internships favor those who can afford to work for free, while eliminating talented individuals who need to earn money for college expenses and life.
