You Know You're a PR Major When….
You know you’re a PR Major when you do all these things, right?
1. You Write | Books, blogs, articles, whatever it may be – you love writing. Public Relations is a writing based major and career, so PR people have to love writing to love PR.
2. News, You Know About It | The nature of Public Relations is driven by news. News of a release of a product, news of a war, news of a scandal – whatever it is, nothing happens until there’s news for us to either report or clean up.
3. Speaking of Scandal | The TV show, Scandal, has a lot of exaggerated examples of public relations crises, but that’s the exciting part of PR – the scandals. When it comes to scandals, that’s what the PR people are for – “handling” it.
4. Social Media is a Job | Yep, you read that right. In Public Relations, your public image is everything. PR people work with social media, but to be successful in PR, you need to watch your social media as a student.
5. You’re Probably Already on Linkedin | I was on linkedin my freshman year because it never hurts to start making connections. Linkedin also has job https://ampills.com/ listings and you can follow companies that are on your dream job wish list.
6. Organizing and Productivity Apps are Your Thing | The world of Public Relations is fast paced, so is college. Establishing good productivity and organizing habits will only help you in the long run. Establish these sooner rather than later.
What’s one thing you think “you know you’re an X major when…”?
Agree that it is important to make good organizational habits early! It will definitely help you in the long run. Thanks for sharing your list!
I like this list, my room mate was a journalism major in college and she always knew what was happening in the world…
Ha! I was an accounting major so I like to think that for the most part I’ve broken the “typical accountant” mold…but you know I do love me some Excel spreadsheets…
You know you’re an engineering major when you are the only female in the class. I wish I utilized more organizational apps.
You mean if your in PR your life isn’t exactly like Olivia Pope’s how disappointing. That would be fun, except she has crazy parents.
What a good list… sometimes I feel like social media is a job 🙂
Lol! Love this list! 🙂
I love this list!
Love it! So true. I remember when I was still in school going for my Marketing degree. A lot of this held true for me, too.
I’m no PR major but I understand where you are coming form 🙂
I used to be super organised but I think since having a baby those skills have fallen by the wayside. Working on getting them back together – especially as starting my own business might be floating on the horizon.
Believe it or not, when I went to school, PR had nothing to do with social media. Wasn’t even on the radar. Cute post!!
PR sounds super fun to me! I think it’s something I may have been interested in pursuing had I not gone the graphic/web design route!
I was going to be a PR major- but after one communications class my freshmen year I changed my mind.. ironically now I am serving as my church’s Public Relations social media specialist.
It sounds like it would be such a fun job to do. Plus, who doesn’t want to be Olivia Pope. 🙂
Cute post!!! Lol at scandal!!!!
I didn’t know you were a PR major! SO cool!
This made me laugh 🙂 Hope school is going well for you!
Great list!!
I didn’t know you were a PR major How cool!
great list
Cute list! 🙂
I knew I was a PR major when I gave up on my regular sleep schedule. Events, press releases, and a timely social media post are much more important than an extra fifteen minutes! But besides that point, I love this article!
