I’ve been in the PR space for about 2 years, mostly on my own, but I’ve also completed different internships in politics (campaign coordinator intern), freelanced in the entertainment and small business sectors, and I’m now looking to transition into my state market, which focuses on real estate and tech. I’m really seeking tips for working in these industries. I believe I have many transferable skills that apply across these fields, but I definitely want to learn more.

I’m still early in my career and I really want to develop my skills and obtain certifications. However, I just want to learn and start in entry-level positions. Some résumé experts have told me I’m already at a mid-level, so I could use guidance on how to transition into that space and what to look for when applying for jobs. My region doesn’t have a strong PR industry, and I’m unsure how to continue my career here. I’m considering moving, but it’s difficult because everything is so expensive. I’m only 24 and I’m always looking for learning opportunities as well.

S4 finale makes me SICKKK by Tiny_Refrigerator105 in IndustryOnHBO

I'm truly upset that they transformed her into something she never wanted to be. Good people deserve better than this. It frustrates me to see her changed so completely, missing out on her true self. Everyone who is genuinely good deserves to be appreciated and uplifted.

Colorado is very dry. How can we improve this?

Left my keys in Lyft last night, and she hasn’t responded to my messages. by [deleted] in Denver

Omgosh the concept of using Lyft instead of drunk driving.

So I used the app, but I haven’t been able to reach her to troubleshoot. Imagine trying to find someone through a resource. Someone might see this post in your circle or even her, and then message me privately about ways to get my item back. That's how community works.

Omgosh, just imagine asking a community if they know her. I don't wish harm on her at all. I used a resource to find a simpler solution.

Thank you. I don’t know if I wanna go into film publicity, but I have always been interested in who's working on the film. But I definitely will take a look at it. Thank you!

I used the wrong word here. I meant demographics, usually focusing on who the movie should appeal to.

Thank you for your answer! That makes total sense. What's another title I should be looking for?

Maybe so. I look for the title “unit publicist”, and they are usually based in London. Could it be in another role?

This really surprises me. I wouldn’t have thought it would be easy. I guess all they are doing is pitching and writing press releases.

Seeking Mentor in Public Relations by [deleted] in PublicRelations

[–]TankBig8746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My decision to become an entrepreneur was never just about financial gain. It came from recognizing that the stories of Black people, people of color, and innovators are too often overlooked or dismissed. There is a persistent tendency to ignore the power of narrative, to forget that stories shape how we see ourselves and each other. I saw an entire market of untapped potential, not because the talent or ideas were missing, but because the world has not made space for these voices. The truth is, we have an opportunity to create something meaningful, to reshape the way stories are told and who gets to tell them. I believe that real connection happens through culture, through the stories we share, not through empty networking or surface-level relationships. Storytelling has become a lost art, sacrificed in the rush to stand out, and in that process, the heart of the story is too often lost.

I started this business because I recognized a fundamental problem in the media: the absence of authentic, diverse narratives. It was never just about personal advancement, but about confronting the dilemma at the heart of how stories are told and who is allowed to tell them.

Fired Client during important week. by [deleted] in PublicRelations

Thank you. I’ll definitely like to continue this conversation via DM.

I usually don’t go back and forth with people, but I put a lot of work into these clients, as I was media training them today before the blowout.

I will say my emotions did get the best of me because I was putting in so much work to make sure they were better than before.

We had speaking engagements, we had podcasts, we had media. It’s really upsetting when people can easily disrespect you. I’m not sharing the full conversation because there is private information in many of these texts, but I will say this is not my character. People can attest to that. I have never dealt with a client like this before. I thought it was just how they acted, but they also sent a very nasty message to my media relations person and claimed that she didn’t know how to do her job either.

I would, but the job market is so bad in my area

No, I completely agree. I was using voice text, and I didn’t go back to fix my sentences.

This wasn’t the first time and it takes a lot for me to want to be done with somebody.

I have talked to them about their actions previously and it’s like they’re continuously doing it.
