Five things you have to
consider when studying Public Relations
HI there, yes you. so I
had that you want to continue with Public Relation’s, ooh and trust me you made
the right choice not only because PR is wonderful but PR can serve as an agent of
change in many ways in our beautiful country ( South Africa).
But I’m pretty sure that you have to consider some kind of tips or magic
formulae while studying PR, because, I tell you this industry is not as easy as
it may seem, but if you get this right, the YING-YANG of being a PR shall be
glowed nicely on you together with its blessings.
The Five tips
or formulae to consider
Number one, The use and misuse of your social media ``weapon-tool``,
basically lovely person, what do you do with it, do you use it for good, bad or
even evil purposes or Are you like a person from the 60s` who don’t care about
it, just remember what you post, state or comment to as a PRP student you must
be very careful because your posts might cause you any potential job in future,
shame.
Number two, Are you a 24/7
meaning are you talkative, like me, guys and girls listen this industry is not
for silent –shy individuals if you want to be heard get out of your comfort
zone and learn how to talk to a crowd with confidence
Number three Time-management and organizations skills are
essential no more doing last minute 5- minute jobs now ,young professionals
this is the time ,yes time to get the right things done because as DR Mike
Murdock said ``I’m done with getting the right things done``
Are you a writer of poem, stories, articles etc. well let me tell you,
do Love writing too much and so much because this will be your selling point in
your world as a PRP, you will be focusing on this wonderful skill, from e-mails
to catalogues to newsletters .What I can say is that hone this skill now before
graduating because your very life to put bread on the lunch box depends on it. 
My last one is … understand the whole bigger picture. It’s easy to
understand the theory but as our Communication Lecture here in UJ always
pointed out that as a students we always need to understand that every
chapter(model-chapter) in real life is
connected, you just only need to Connect the dots
Well young professionals we came to an end of our wonderful talk thank you for reading do tell what you
loved do tell were I can improve my words, thank you.
