Well we made it! We're into the final week of class! I am sad because this is the last PR class I will take, possibly for the rest of my life as I am nearing graduation. I really have become quite fond of PR. I feel even though I've taken several PR classes that I've barely scraped the surface of the subject. I really wish that I could do a job shadow with a working PR professional for a couple weeks and see the day to day work that they get involved in. I would love to see real life played out in the field.
I know that the career I am in now is in no way fulfilling or satisfying to me. I don't think my attributes and/or strengths are being used to their full potential. I'm hoping one day this economy will pick up and there will be more opportunities in PR or any other field that I'm interested in. I think this field is extremely relevant and will be forever, we will always need PR.
This class has really taught me the nitty gritty behind the research and writing aspects of PR. This course I think is vital to being able to execute proper PR writings in real life. I could write a news release today and feel pretty comfortable that the format and content are proper.
I'd like to say thank you to professor Hamlin for being so flexible and informative with us and I'd like to thank Riva and Geno for being wonderful and easy to work with classmates as well!!
Good luck in the future everyone!!
Linda, It was great to have in the class as well. I would definitely seek out Professor Hamlin for other networking opportunities. I am sure she has office hour that you could brainstorm some useful resource avenue; or even Starbucks if her schedule allows. I am in Switzerland, surely if I were in town I would have reached out for her, she is very good. But anyway, good luck in the PR world and congrats on you upcoming graduation.
