14 Attributes
After reading "14 key attributes for public relations professionals" by Dave Fleet, I've found that while I have some of the basics done, I still have a lot to work on. Number one that I'm somewhat worried about is communication skills. This isn't to say that I'm not able to communicate with others, or else I wouldn't have chosen this major in the first place. My problem is that I can be somewhat timid around those I don't know. This could obviously be a problem in the PR field, so somehow I'll have to deal with that. The second thing, which I've touched on in my previous post, is keeping up with the dizzying amount of technology.

Being shy around new people is one of my weak points as well. I am getting better, but I hope to become more comfortable in the future. I think it will be easier once we get into our career because we will have to communicate on an everyday basis with people we don't know. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say I agree with you with keeping up with the technology. It seems like everyday I am learning about a new social media that I never knew existed, but has been around for a while.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. The amounts of technology, especially on the Internet alone, are incredibly "dizzying." I often worry I'll never be able to keep up with and understand it all. Learning does take practice and time, but with the speed at which technology is continuing to change, it seems impossible to know everything.
