PRSSA Kent's Twitter Chat

PRSSA Kent hosted its second annual Twitter Chat Wednesday, Feb. 10, about working toward a career in public relations. Students, alumni, faculty and other PRSSA chapters all joined in to share their experiences about finding their first job in PR and some helpful tips to young professionals entering the field.

“Many students are unsure of where to start when looking for a PR job,” Chapter President Gabrielle Woodard said. “The reason behind choosing that topic was to give students a place to start and an opportunity to network online.”

The Q&A session started at 7:30 p.m. led by the @prssakent Twitter handle. Anyone could join the conversation using the hashtag #PRSSAKent.

The questions from the chat included the following:

1. What is your dream job?
2. How will/how did your first job get you there?
3. What stands out the most on your resume?
4. What is an experience you can talk about in an interview?
5. Before your next interview, what is a skill you would like to improve on?
6. How has PRSSA/PRSA prepared you for your first job?
7. What class did you take that helped you the most in your first job or internship?
