Here at the LSJ Alumni 2018 Public Relations event, our guest speakers are all sharing valuable advice to get into the working world!
Our first speaker Rebecca Gleave, graduated in September 2017 and is now working at Garnett Keeler PR, she explains how different companies will have different styles of writing, and it will take time to adapt to the new working ways. She explains that Cygnet PR helped her the most and gave her valuable skills.
Callie Sowerby, an Account Executive at Proactive PR International tells us how important the six-month Proactive Pathway was for her future. Using her skills learned from experience with Cygnet PR and the Journalism and Public Relations course helped her to where she is today. The course gave her a good grounding so she was able to transition her Uni work to the real world.
Our last speaker is Megan Hawkins, a PR executive at The British Horse Society. Explaining her roles in her current job is making us excited for us to be in the PR field of work. With building relationships and writing content, learning about writing for different audiences helped Megan within her role.
Questions are now being asked all around from our interested audience. Learning that when looking for jobs, be patient, always ask questions, and be confident.
The main message all the speakers are sharing is that work experience is vital!
Now onto networking, cakes, and refreshments!
