Episode 56 - PR Classroom vs. Real World - An Intern's Perspective
PR Classroom vs. Real World - An Intern's Perspective
There's the classroom, and then there's the real world.
PR student Faith Wheatley gives us a compare and contrast between classroom learning and her own recent internship experience — including five excellent tips for students looking to succeed in their first or next internship.
Faith speaks from a serious, hands-on internship experience: planning and helping to execute a major event, and a multi-day trip to Washington D.C. for a women's leadership program. She shares what she learned, what did or did not translate from the classroom, and offers straight advice for students looking to up their prospects in the career game.
Her words can teach all of us — students, instructors, and employers alike.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Struggle no more to tell your leadership what your value is to the organization.
Join the movement to help change the conversation inside our organizations about public relations (a.k.a - communications, corporate comm, marcom, public-information office, etc.). We've heard you, seen your frustration on LinkedIn -- being disregarded, left out, treated like an afterthought. But we sometimes are creating our own headaches by how we talk about our profession. So we've designed some items we think you'll like -- and these "tools" will start the conversation for you. Check them out here!
