I Guess I'm Back, Again

I know that I am so bad at updating, it is just super hard when you are a busy college student. This quarter is probably the craziest of my life right now. I guess I am trying to squeeze in everything last thing I can to put on a resume before I graduate.

A little of what I have been up to is designing a PR campaign for a couple events/companies. I am in Comm 637, which in non OSU student speak is Public Communications Campaigns. We are broken up into groups and we have make a PR Campaign for a real company. The company we are working with is called Azoti (which means nitrogen in Italian). You can look them up if you want.

The other organization I just got involved in is called the PRactice. It is a student run PR firm at OSU. I have just signed on to a team working on promoting The Ride for World Health (Look this up too, it's actually really cool).

I am just so excited about both of these time consuming projects that I haven't had to time to do anything fun, aka this, reading, painting my nails, etc...

On top of these two stressful things, I have been working on my resume. This has been so unsuccessful. I started seriously working on it over winter break. Then I realized how stressed and anxious it made me, that I couldn't work on it for the rest of the day. That day turned into weeks. Two Tuesday's ago I started again, but unfortunately became very overwhelmed with the thought of putting all of my achievements on ONE page. I took a break that lasted another week. Finally this past Monday, I sorta finished it. I would call it a very rough rough rough draft.

If anyone knows how to seriously write a resume and wants to seriously help me, or look over mine to critique, PLEASE let me know.

P.S.- Also any jobs leads would be wonderful!

PRSSA

I have decided to join PRSSA. This is a great professional club for people pursuing PR. Since I fall into this category, I decided it would be a good resume builder and a great way to network. Also to see what lays ahead for me once I graduate.

Graduation is seeming more and more scary by the day. I realize that it is only fall quarter but, seriously it's my last fall quarter at The Ohio State University. CRAZY! I can't believe I'm a senior already, I feel like I just graduated high school last spring. Also when did I turn 21? 

So as I creep closer to June 2012, I am trying to do everything I can to get a job right out of college. I know I want to do something in PR, but I have no idea where I want to do such profession. I know this may come as a shock, but I will most likely be moving to Toronto after graduation to live closer to the boyfriend. I have no doubt that he will find a job (he is a computer science major, smarty pants I know). I am nervous about me finding one, the PR job market is tough to break into. I know it's all about who you know. I am counting on PRSSA to help me make these connections and beef up my resume. I can't wait for all the advice and help I know I will get from it.

If you are a PR student or looking at potentially being one, this organization will help you get where you are going. I highly recommend you getting this experience and getting involved. Here is the website if you are interested, PRSSA Site.

If you have any advice on the PR world that would like to share, I am more than happy to listen!
