I like the "power statements" concept.<br /><br />Even after having worked in PR for more than 30 years and now having taught for going on 10, I still take courses from time to time to either brush up on skills that I feel are getting rusty or to learn more about something new.<br /><br />Right now, I'm trying to learn as much as possible about everything related to social media as a communication tool.<br /><br />My mantra is "stop learning and you will quickly fade into oblivion"!Kirk Hazletthttp://kirkhazlett-aprofessorsthoughts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505321001193533635.post-53980555180734582162011-05-30T04:40:02.808-04:002011-05-30T04:40:02.808-04:00I am in a similar situation with a different persp...I am in a similar situation with a different perspective. I went back to school at night to finish my degree. I had been working at a public relations agency. I finished my degree in English with a minor in public relations, taking mostly public relations classes. I took the PR sequence. <br /><br />I just finished the career workshop at LDS employment. It was extremely helpful. My resume is transformed. You do not have to be a member of the Mormon church to attend and its free. Part of the class was writing power statements about what you can offer the company and videotaping and evaluating mock interviews.Leonahttp://www.leona-christensen.comnoreply@blogger.com
