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.4. Start a blog/blogging.Its safe to say blogging allows you to be a better speaker. I mean you cant be a Public Relations Practitioner and lack good communications skill, agree? Surely you do. 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.5. Don't take yourself too seriously.Alright, if you really want to be in the PR industry, take in every much you can from everywhere. That will work to your advantage. Every job you dream about will come true. Right know you are blurry to know what your dream is.Not sure whether PR is for you? Forward me with questions you have and I'll be glad to assist you.
