May 29, 2009 The Graduates I am in the midst of graduation sensation, with my eldest to receive her college diploma next Thursday and my middle child having earned her high school diploma just a week ago. We entertained thirteen college students at our home last weekend; I could now write a new script for "Survivor; The Parents" based on that experience. I am very pleased that my college graduate will begin her career at Edelman Chicago in the fall; Generation Three begins! Given the terrible job market for college and professional school graduates, I thought it appropriate to offer some advice on how to approach the employment search in PR. First, consider working initially as an intern. Most of our offices are utilizing summer interns. Some of these jobs will become full time in the fall, given normal employee turnover. We have the interns do real work, from preparing press lists to writing press materials. Second, digital is your fastest way in the door and to the top. All PR firms are rapidly adapting their core offerings, as the game shifts away from sole reliance on media relations. Show us how you're blogging, tweeting, utilizing video, participating with communities, advancing issues. If you can demonstrate how you can advise on social media, then you have immediate value. We operate a facebook site solely for potential interns, and a twitter, facebook, widget and a LinkedIn site for all pros so they can participate with the Edelman community.
