3. Manage your online reputation.

Your reputation is important if you want to be in the PR industry. I'm pretty sure that you are engaging in social media networks but are you posting acceptable post? My advice to you, Don't use social media when you are angry... just don't. No agency will want to hire you if you have a bad online reputation. Question is, Do you have a good online reputation? If yes, keep it that way. If not, Do something about it.

Hey, you also get to be a better writer! How cool is that? Imagine being able to convey resourceful information to your audience... they will love you for that.

Public Relations contributes a lot towards the reputation of the World cup because it somehow builds a strong positive perception about. We must remember that as PR people we hold the most valuable asset in campaigns or organisations.
