Develop Your Public Relations Career With the Redesigned PRSA JobCenter

Posted by Richard Spector in July 18th 2011  

Recently I had the pleasure of managing PRSA’s Jobcenter redesign – with the help and guidance of some wonderful colleagues. We were able to redo the navigation and compile information from all PRSA and PRSSA resources including advice based on PR Tactics articles, Forum blogs, comPRehension entries, HR consultants and resume guidance from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What was the result? We now have an information-rich career center to set job seekers on a successful path for all career levels.

Posted by Richard Spector in November 19th 2010  

My experience as the manager of the PRSA Jobcenter has given me a 360 degree view of what can help you land that job. Although I’m not a human resources expert, I have seen recent success stories and tactics that can help job seekers compete more effectively.

A friend recently asked me if she should contact a potential employer regarding her recent interview. This was her third interview with the same company. I found myself asking her to show them what she’s bringing to the table other than just her resume and cover letter.
