Comments on: Things your mother never told you… http://jessicalomelin.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/what-your-mother-never-told-you/ Public relations and global communications all from the mind of a young practitioner Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:18:22 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Lincoln Davis http://jessicalomelin.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/what-your-mother-never-told-you/#comment-16 Lincoln Davis Mon, 12 May 2008 16:34:20 +0000 http://jessicalomelin.wordpress.com/?p=15#comment-16 I'm glad to see and hear that you are doing well. You make several great points in your post. I'd add people interviewing for a job should exude confidence and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. And with the changing industry - new media - candidates should be familiar with the space – and not just know about it, but actually participate in the space. That not only gives candidates creditability for their knowledge, but clients see that as a huge benefit. Firms are always looking for ways to enhance the value they bring to the table, so position your skill set and experience as a leveraging point for not only how you differentiate yourself from the other candidates, but how you can enhance the value the firm provides its clients. Next time you’re in Seattle, let me know, we’ll grab lunch. I’m glad to see and hear that you are doing well. You make several great points in your post.

I should have mentioned this earlier - I recently read a book called "They Don't Teach Corporate in College" and several of the things I mentioned I wish I would have known are discussed. Great book that I think every PR newbie should read before starting their PR careers; I highly recommend it. I am actually writing a review for my blog as we speak, so check back in a few days to read more about it :) Great post, Jessica.
