00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.912
<v ->I think back to some of my PR core classes</v>

2
00:00:02.912 --> 00:00:04.127
to be perfectly honest with you

3
00:00:04.127 --> 00:00:05.557
and I almost wish there was more of them.

4
00:00:05.557 --> 00:00:09.487 line:15% 
But we had a campaigns class and everything.

5
00:00:09.487 --> 00:00:10.765 line:15% 
I think some of the you know,

6
00:00:10.765 --> 00:00:13.344 line:15% 
the more that it can be applied

7
00:00:13.344 --> 00:00:16.123 line:15% 
to quote unquote real world opportunities,

8
00:00:16.123 --> 00:00:17.685
not just as much theory,

9
00:00:17.685 --> 00:00:21.315
but you know practicing real life examples

10
00:00:21.315 --> 00:00:24.576
that you would be able to do in the work force the better.

11
00:00:24.576 --> 00:00:25.903
That's why I loved getting involved

12
00:00:25.903 --> 00:00:27.426
especially in Cartel Communications,

13
00:00:27.426 --> 00:00:30.855 line:15% 
because they had a student PR run agency

14
00:00:30.855 --> 00:00:32.925 line:15% 
that had actual clients that pay them,

15
00:00:32.925 --> 00:00:35.965 line:15% 
and being able to have that hands on experience

16
00:00:35.965 --> 00:00:37.415
and practice some of the theories

17
00:00:37.415 --> 00:00:41.286
and things that you're learning in your classroom

18
00:00:41.286 --> 00:00:43.506
as a student and learning along the way

19
00:00:43.506 --> 00:00:44.484
and having some of the professional

20
00:00:44.484 --> 00:00:48.193
guidance from your advisors was extremely helpful.

21
00:00:48.193 --> 00:00:50.061
And of course you make mistakes along the way

22
00:00:50.061 --> 00:00:50.894
and I make mistakes now,

23
00:00:50.894 --> 00:00:52.721
but that's all part of the learning process

24
00:00:52.721 --> 00:00:55.529
and understanding your craft.

25
00:00:55.529 --> 00:00:57.489
I took on a lot of internships.

26
00:00:57.489 --> 00:01:01.489
By the time I was done I had five internships under my belt.

27
00:01:01.489 --> 00:01:05.519
So I had my hands in a lot of different areas.

28
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.969 line:15% 
The more that you can experience,

29
00:01:08.969 --> 00:01:10.959 line:15% 
and increasing your bandwidth

30
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.292 line:15% 
and increasing your network.

31
00:01:14.450 --> 00:01:16.930
Go to those professional luncheons.

32
00:01:16.930 --> 00:01:20.669
Don't only go to them, talk to the professionals.

33
00:01:20.669 --> 00:01:22.200
Collect business cards.

34
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.050
Keep in touch with them.

35
00:01:24.050 --> 00:01:26.338
And that's how you start your network

36
00:01:26.338 --> 00:01:27.698
and then start getting as much

37
00:01:27.698 --> 00:01:29.560
experience as possible under your belt

38
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:31.319
and ask those question.

39
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:32.629
Job shadow with people.

40
00:01:32.629 --> 00:01:35.120
I job shadowed quite a bit once I realized

41
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.120
what area of Public Relations I wanted to go in.
