Episode #108: Our First Jobs, and a New Member of the Family

The Young PR Pros family is expanding. We welcome Clare Bonnyman

as our new assistant producer. Clare has extensive background in

radio editing. We hope her skills will make the show sound even

better in your ear buds on your commute, in the office, or wherever

you listen. OH, and Julia Kent welcomed her new son into the world

on April 6.

Clare is just like you, our listeners, a young professional

wrapping up her studies and ready to tackle the brave new world. We

give her the role of picking this week's topic, to make sure we are

keeping the show relevant and true to our audience. Clare asked

each host to describe their first job.

Julia

Kent talks about her first marketing job at the NAC. Ross

Simmonds shares his first experience as a social media trainer

and strategist for the CBC. And Kristine

D'Arbelles tells the story of her job as a publicist for a

deaf-blind speed skater. Spoiler alert, one of the hosts gets an

honorable trophy for having the coolest first experience. Can you

guess which one? Listen to the full episode to find out!

Growing our podcast family is just the first step in making our

podcast even better. In this episode, you will hear the voice of

listener and fan Adil

Skalli, who shares his ideas for a future episode. We love

Adil's passion and attitude and encourage other listeners to share

their ideas to, by email, on Twitter or Facebook, or send us an

audio clip.

Adil's comment is a good introduction to the new direction of

the podcast. Don't worry, we aren't changing too much. We will

continue to bring you great content on topics that are relevant to

young PR professionals. However, once and a while, we will speak to

a broader audience and offer our advice for ANY

young professional looking to start their career.

We close the show with a new segment called lessons

learned. Each host, including Clare, shares the

number one takeaway from the show.
