First Job Checklist
Earlier this afternoon, I gave a presentation to the University of St. Thomas PRSSA chapter. It was a great exercise for me, because as a young professional I often struggle with feeling inexperienced and “too young.” Throughout the process of preparing my presentation – and thanks to Arik Hanson for the idea – I decided I could speak to what I know, which is what to look for and expect in your first job out of college.
For this presentation, I also experimented with Prezi. While I found it a bit hard to get used to, I definitely think that with more practice it will become my favorite presentation tool. If nothing else, it definitely wins points over PowerPoint for being more visually interesting and engaging.
What the Kell?

So, I’m sure many of you do not religiously watch Bravo like I do… but stay with me on this one. Bravo’s newest TV show “Kell on Earth” follows Kelly Cutrone and her minions at People’s Revolution in the fast-paced world of fashion public relations.
Cutrone is cut-throat and intimidating as hell, and infamous for the line, “If you have to cry, go outside.” (Note: I would never work at a place where employees bursting into tears happened enough times for that rule to be in place). Yikes.
A recent episode, however, let loose another strange rule at People’s Revolution: employees are not allowed to use social media.
**Update: I was informed by Katy Smith that, in fact, employees of People’s Revolution are using social media. However, given the recent episode where a new hire was terminated for tweeting about being hired, I am leaving up this post. I’m still interested to hear your thoughts about social media policies.
