When opportunity knocks, will you open the door? Make sure you take a close look at the opportunities you are given, advises Katie Bratland, Public Relations and Communications Expert. You can always say no after you consider an opportunity, but know the details before you make a decision.

Katie almost missed out on a career-changing event when she was about to pass on a six-month engagement with the World Cup. She decided to go to the interview, and the role ended up shaping her career ever since, leading her to an executive role in communications/public relations for a sports management agency.

Katie enjoys connecting with people and learning about what they do. Her natural curiosity and ability to figure things out are assets in her field, which encompasses executive communications, media relations, public affairs, working with publicists, and more. Katie recommends following your curiosity to discover potential career opportunities through informational interviews and learning from others about the work they do.
