PRSSA holds first digital career fair! TONIGHT at 9:00 PM

This semester it has been truly important for our PR Campaigns class to focus on entering the social media world.  Our professor Alexander Laskin, explained how it is a vital to participate in twitter chats! I came across that PRSSA will be holding a digital career fair tonight!!!

EVERYONE PARTICIPATE IF YOU HAVE A TWITTER ACCOUNT! GET YOUR RESUMES Ready!

Many students looking for internships or jobs are extremely intimidated and feel uncomfortable when attending these events. However PRSSA has eliminated that fear using social media.

Just like PRSSA stated “It’s time to let your colors shine online!” This will be a great opportunity as potential interns and college seniors to get your name out there in the industry and speak with PR professionals.

Top companies who are participating in this event are Ogilvy, Edelman Digital, Cohn & Wolfe, CENTERSTAGE and much more.

We are the future of the PR industry! Get to speak with professionals and gain advice and a possible interview for potential careers.

Digital Career Fair etiquette

• Please remember this is a business-oriented event. No foul language or off-topic posts. Remember, during this event you represent PRSSA as well as yourself.
• Introduce yourself upon entering the chat. Ex: “Hi, I’m Kim Ciesla, senior at Rowan University. National VP of Chapter Development.” Feel free to include a link to your online portfolio, blog or website.
• Use this opportunity to build connections with public relations professionals, recruiters and fellow students – not just hunt for jobs/internships.
• Have your resume in PDF format and ready to share in case you are asked to.
• More Job Hunt articles and tools
