A Girl in the PR World

Have you ever wondered just how some PR practitioners got their jobs? What types of internships did they complete to get prepared for the PR world? How did they set themselves apart from all of the other job applicants?

Janna, now a PR practitioner at Thornley Fallis, talks about her journey into public relations in her post “A PR Girl’s Beginnings – Part 1 – How I Got Here” on the PR Girlz blog. She did not have any public relations experience or knowledge about social media, yet she was still savvy and creative enough to set herself out from the crowd and get the job – a lesson that we could all learn from in these rough times!

PR Girlz is a collective blog from the women who work at Thornley Fallis, a communications and public relations agency in Canada. Their posts cover a range of topics – from public relations current affairs to defeating the traditional stereotypes of what a PR girl does.

It is both fun and informative to read what these women have to say about their lives in the PR world, and this blog is definitely a must-read for females looking to pursue a career in public relations. Check it out!
