It's that time of year. The time when every public relations student is refreshing their email constantly and waiting for their phone to ring in hopes of receiving an internship or full-time position. I was so happy to have received that call from Burson-Marsteller about two weeks ago telling me that I would be offered an internship for the summer. This all got me thinking... how lucky am I to be studying something that teaches me how to market and sell myself in the best way possible? As my junior year at Penn State is coming to an end, I have begun to realize what it is that makes certain students so marketable, and to be honest, it is pretty simple. It is the campaign that a student runs for him or herself during the application/interview process, and that campaign must display three things: determination, passion, and of course, purpose. I have learned that showing that you have these three qualities as a potential employee is huge, and this is why...
All in all, do whatever it takes to get people to hop on The YOU Campaign. You might ask, "what if I fall?" We all fall, and to stand out we must step outside of the box and get on the runway to take flight, because as Erin Hanson might say, "what if you fly?" ABOUT ME: My name is Hannah and I love all things public relations. I am a student at Penn State studying public relations with minors in psychology and entrepreneurship, and I am also a pole vaulter for the track team. What I love the most about public relations is that we need it in all areas of the world. I hope to work in a firm or large company after graduation (May 2018) as I know that I can bring creativity, motivation and a go-getter attitude wherever I end up.
