Working in Public Relations A career in public relations has no defined career path. An individual can obtain a degree in a number of different fields such as public relations, communications, marketing, journalism, broadcasting, or political science. Professionals in PR must have soft skills including strong written and oral communication skills, the ability to solve problems, and the ability to think critically and creatively. A career in public relations can take many different turns. Some aspects of public relations emphasize digital media; potential careers include content creators, social media managers, or digital artists. Individuals can specialize in an industry (i.e. finance) to emphasize working between a company and its investors. Individuals interested in working for nonprofit organizations may find the branch of fundraising overlaps many aspects of public relations.

Five Things Everyone Should Know About Public Relations (PR) I have always dreamt of writing this piece, thanks to author Robert Wynne and Forbes for this piece. Throughout my 20+ years in PR, there have been brow raising moments on the understanding of PR. Here are some I had encountered: 1. "You are learning public" - a fellow university student asked me this, while I was a dreamy eyed PR student. Maybe it was merely a language barrier. 2. Also in my early days, friends commenting that HR was a good career choice, despite them having my business card and listen to what I did at work. 3. When I was recruiting for PR staff, it was common to hear from job applicants during interviews say that they choose PR because they like to/want to meet people. 4. More recently, aspiring PR personnel have said, I am good at social media and I think I can be an influencer one day. 5. During my uni days, when I was a part time receptionist at an international oil & gas company, I found the cheat sheet 'If you don't know how to deal with the call or whom to transfer it to, transfer the call to the PR department, they always know what to do' Sure there is more and I am glad (relieved even) that the awareness on PR has grown over the years. Here is what this article on Forbes cover: 1. What is PR (not HR)? 2. PR vs advertising? 3. What is news? 4. Can social media replace traditional media? 5. Can PR be measured?

It involves strategic communication to foster trust and align with your organization's values, engaging stakeholders like clients, employees, and the community. PR is about understanding and responding to audience needs in a way that supports your goals. **Follow me for more stories https://lnkd.in/gx2DWMxR** **Comment and ♻️ Repost to spread knowledge**

Good public relations professionals are hard to find and require a certain talent for hard and soft skills. Whether you’re on the hunt for a PR professional or are thinking of getting into the field, these five traits are necessary to succeed: PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER Communications professionals need to be outgoing and personable. Whether it’s cold-calling reporters or meeting people at a networking event—it’s essential to have the ability to make connections with people. It’s also necessary to have a high level of integrity and an ability to make sound decisions in challenging situations. WRITING AND ORAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS In addition to a friendly demeanor, a good employee needs to communicate well in writing and verbally. This can mean talking on the phone, writing well-thought-out emails, and drafting news releases. CREATIVITY AND SYNERGY WITH OTHERS PR professionals should have creativity and curiosity. Of course, the best employees are enthusiastic about the communications business and look to learn as much as they can from the veterans at a firm. But besides learning, good employees should also offer new ideas to help clients meet their objectives. READY TO WORK A critical communications matter can happen anytime—mornings, weekends, evenings. The best employees in the PR business know this and volunteer to help out, even when it might be outside of regular business hours because it’s an opportunity to learn and grow. DIGITAL/MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCE A new PR hire should know how to create basic images and videos, manage and update a website, and understand the concepts of SEO and online reputation management. https://lnkd.in/e4AsJZ98 #PublicRelationsProfessionals #PRSkills #CommunicationsIndustry #PRtraits #PRCareer

Public relations managers MUST plan to do something positive about the behaviors of those valuable external audiences of theirs that MOST affect their operation. Certainly, you could gauge the rather narrow results achieved by tactical subsets of your public relations program like special events, brochures, broadcast plugs or press releases. On the other hand, you as a business, non-profit or association manager, might better measure the results of your strategic efforts to adjust individual perception among your key outside audiences leading to changed behaviors, which then help you achieve your managerial objectives. Public relations managers MUST plan to do something positive about the behaviors of those important external audiences of theirs that most affect their operation. And especially so when they persuade those key outside folks to their way of thinking by helping to move them to take actions that allow their department, division or subsidiary to succeed. But of course it takes more than good intentions for any manager to alter individual, key-audience perception leading to changed behaviors, something of profound significance to ALL business, non-profit and association managers. He or she needs a plan dedicated to getting every member of the public relations team working towards the same external audience behaviors which insures that the organization’s public relations effort stays sharply focused. The plan could be based on a foundation that looks like this: people act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done.
