PR ob 8

PRSA Luncheon part 2:

The job offer was a highlight, but there's so much more. I am happier than ever with PR because I got to sit with those who have committed their educations to this degree, and continue to pursue it in their lives. These people were like me, outgoing and involved. I felt like I was in the right place and with the right people.

Some of the situations these people involved themselves in were incredible. Back in 1993 there was a hostage situation with IHC at their Alta Hospital. The man at my table was the PR specialist for them at the time he had only been there for three days! I hope to not have something that intense in my first three days on the job, and I don't know what kind of training will prepare me for that. But regardless, I'm excited and confident about PR with more and more of the exposure that I get to it.

I've also noticed while being here at USU, that most of those deeply involved with PR are females. This begins to level out in the actual work force, which makes me happy in both situations.
