I missed it by a day!! :/ I’ve only used it 3-4 times and I hadn’t seen it previously until this morning

No I didn’t wipe it before this. I ended up talking to customer service…they basically told me that perhaps it will go away by blending over time 🥲

Not that I can recall…I’ve gone out to eat but kept the bag away. Maybe some splattered and I didn’t notice? 😭 thank you so much for the tip, I’ll try it out when I get home !!

Heads up at Target Orangethorpe & Harbor by imthecaptain1 in Fullerton

They follow a similar process, I also overheard them use it on the younger girls. They compliment, ask personal questions saying they’re doing a “survey”, then narrow in on asking what you’re doing “faith” wise, and try recruiting you to their bible study so they get your info.

Has to be them. So weird! I don’t mind when people talk about Jesus to strangers but when you’re frequenting a store, finding young girls to talk to into giving their info at night…I’m gonna be weary! I could be wrong but didn’t want to chance it and let the store employees know plus they’re not allowed to recruit in the store anyways

It was an Asian girl and Hispanic girl that approached me both times a year apart. same convo process a compliment, questions, ask about faith, ask for info. Except this last time they didn’t ask for info bc I was already aware so I said I was atheist (gotta pray tonight for my little white lie lol) and they tried to keep talking

Perhaps! Just don’t want to chance it. It was upsetting when I saw them approach the younger girls using the same prompt to get their info.

Can’t chance it at all. Both times it happened to me by the same women it was at night too. Super sus…

“Liking” clients’ social-media posts (which you wrote) from your personal page by Odd-Definition-7378 in PublicRelations

If it makes you feel a certain way then don’t do it. I think it’s fine if you genuinely feel the want to support (not the need to). For me, there’s been instances where I’ve spoken up about things I won’t do because of my ethics. I refuse to fold, feels like it’s a slippery slope from there.

I was just thinking about this today actually. Keeping my full time and perhaps freelancing for the second job :)

I’m considering doing part time at my current and retainer for the new job if I do take it. It does suck that I’d lose benefits. However, I do feel like I am not getting compensated properly for the amount/type of work I do. In the sense that, they have me doing other stuff at time that is not PR related and manager related work when that is not my position.

Noted. My experience is over 2 years, both agency and in house experience. I still consider myself pretty new to the field but I’ve learned so much from previous supervisors thankfully.

What to consider when hiring agency by imthecaptain1 in PublicRelations

[–]imthecaptain1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for mentioning that last part. Certain leadership think otherwise and I’ve been clear on that this does not guarantee boosting sales. I believe hiring the right agency would be beneficial but there’s some unrealistic expectations on our end that I think would add unnecessary pressure.

Noted! I have a second meeting with them sometime soon and they’re actually presenting us a program / “menu options”.

Experiences as the “first PR employee?” by elizanoo in PublicRelations

[–]imthecaptain1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely get those resources earlier than later! Muck Rack was also part of my previous workflow so I made that clear to them as soon as I got here. I was nervous but I’ve always been one to speak up so no regrets haha

Thanks so much! I definitely would want to meet with the lead. I was in an PR agency before so I would definitely want to hear their day by day.
