PR Start by Nick Lucido

These are my links for October 23rd through October 28th:

• How to Find a Public Relations Mentor « – Sara gives some great advice on finding and maintaining a mentorship. We talked about this on the PRSSA Blog recently, so it was great to see her take on it and why she thinking finding a mentor in public relations is important.
• Why Companies Still Aren’t Hiring (And What You Can Do About It) | Brazen Careerist – This is another post talking about the fact the the past to the entry level is getting harder and harder to access. Yes, you can intern again. Yes, you can freelance. But when it comes down to it, you really do need to get an entry level positions eventually. Good read for those of us graduating soon.
• Having “The Talk” with Staff, Social Media Style – This is a great resource for starting a social media policy as well as some examples of companies with established social media policies. Might be helpful to send to your boss if social media is banned in the office, too.
• Building a Case for Public Relations | PRSAY – What Do You Have to Say? – I’m really looking forward to seeing how this advocacy campaign plays out. I know there are a lot of people out there who think PRSA doesn’t to enough to advocate for the profession, and I’m hoping this is something that will begin to change those perceptions.
