This years alumni event kick-started off with our returning graduates; Rebecca, Callie and Megan, on campus at the University of Lincoln. They presented their stories about their PR careers so far.
Megan Hawkins, one of this years alumni spoke to us about how she got her job she never really intended to end up in the field she did but one of her top tips Megan gave to us was to be open-minded about different jobs available as you may want to go into a certain field of PR but there are many other fields which give you different opportunities.
Callie Sowerby talked about the importance of graduate schemes as she was able to get her job through a graduate scheme which led her to a career at proactive PR where she started out as a junior account executive and now promoted she’s currently an account executive less than a year on in her career.
Rebecca Gleave, has been working at a PR firm called Garrett Keeler PR since July 2017, this involves her working with diverse range of tractor and heavy goods vehicles tyres. Rebecca’s PR is on a Business to business format so her aims on a day to day are different from the other guest speakers, she was able to shed light on working for the in house sector of the industry. In the talk today she spoke how rewarding the job is and she mentioned her acquaintance with princess Anne at a transport charity event. She provided an inspirational and informative talk.
Overall the event went amazingly and motivated the first years to look ahead and third years to think positively about their future in PR.
Bring on next year!
