Q.  Guys have it easy when it comes to job interview wardrobe decisions.  As a woman, I will spend hours trying to figure out what to wear to my first full-time job interview next week.  Conservative, stylish, creative?  What statement do I want to make?  I know the company&#8217;s culture is informal, so that makes it even [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
One of my pet peeves is the phone call from a job seeker asking if a resume has been received. 
Unless you know the individual receiving the resume or have a mutual friend whose name you can drop, a resume follow-up call is an interruption that doesn&#8217;t enhance your job consideration.
The phone can play an important role in [...]]]></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?

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>
