So I few months back I wrote about my new-found interest in Public Relations. I was so excited to have finally found something that interested me that also had the possibility of a stable future. And being that I'm an English Literature major, the stable interests seem to be few and far between, which made PR all the more appealing.
Wanting to know anything and everything I could about the field, I dove in head-first; taking Q&A interviews left and right and applying for as many internships as I could find. Not a bad approach, I have to admit. If nothing else, it provided me the opportunity to really research the topic and see if it would be the right fit.
Alas, it was not. I learned that, as much as I enjoy having a blog and using social media sites, I do not want the list of sites I regularly visit to be a part of my resume. Sharing them with a group of strangers during a recent interview left me feeling over-exposed and vulnerable in a way that I did not care for. That incident - among a few others - showed me, in no uncertain terms, that PR is not right for me.
So I continue to search. There are few topics of interest that I'm pursuing - and none of them require the list of social media sites I regulate to be part of my resume.
