Twitter is an up and coming social media. As

    a PR professional, you should at least be
    aware of social media.
You should ALWAYS send 2 thank you letters

    after an interview
    1. Immediately after the interview through e-mail.
    2. Hand written one to get there a week or two
       later.
Whether we like it or not, we are being judge

    on first appearances, especially when
    interviewing.
    Dress for the job you want,

    not the job
    you have.
Words/symbols in your culture may mean

    different things in another culture (ex.
    Thumbs up sign).




                        =
Word travels fast in the PR world, you have to

    be ready and able to respond to any crisis
    (ex. Domino’s).
Internships are very important in college

    Take at least one, try for more, they will give

    you better experience than a classroom can.
There is NO typical day or week in the PR

    world.
Have well written resume and cover letter.

    Show them your accomplishments, not your

    duties.
Most gifts are unethical in the PR world and

    seen as bribes.
Feel Confident and you will look

    Confident, no body wants someone working
    for them that looks like they don’t know what
    they are doing.
