Marketing/PR Junkie

After cranking out cover letters, tailoring my resume like it was going out of style and a few interviews ... I got a call on Thursday from Chico's and they offered me a job working in their PR Department and social media! Yayyy, my first job working in my field/specialty. I am beyond excited to begin my journey as a PR professional.

I picked up this book (The New Rules of Marketing & PR) by David Meerman Scott so I can better understand this new media craze and how it helps businesses connect with their clients, customers and colleagues. Unfortunately the College of Arts and Sciences (and the public realtions program) has not teamed up with Lutgert School of Business to develop a better program to teach social media or any form of media design. I am grateful for the experience I have before me because I am able to learn hands-on!
