Link Love Fridays – Episode #3
by TomToronto
Check back every Friday for my favourite links from the world of Public Relations.
This week has been a busy one for me. I’m in the full swing of the busy season at work, which means working to 9 pm until the end of June, and I’ve just started PR 201 and 202 at Ryerson. The courses and instructors are great, I’m really looking forward to next week’s classes. As a side effect, I’ve been reading textbooks instead of digging deep on PR blogs, so this week’s Link Love Friday is going to be brief.
There’s an excellent post from Todd Defren over on PR Squared, entitled “What I Wish My New Employee Knew.” It’s a good read for anyone, like myself, that is looking to get into PR or is just starting out.
It gets better! At the bottom of the post there are a handful of links that are all helpful pointers for the PR proselyte, all the way up to the PR pros. I particularly recommend 5 ways not to get an entry-level job in PR and Reasons a Student Should Get Involved in Social Media from Chris Clarke and Joe Thornley. I may be a little bit bias towards the content on those posts, but it’s still good advice.
These posts all connect to the Teaching PR blog, which I’ve only just discovered, and is an excellent resource.
Feel free to post your own favourite links from the week in the comments below. Enjoy the links, and have a great weekend!
