It's reassuring to hear that new pros entering the work force are every bit as prepared to deal with the changing scene of PR as the experienced pros. I'm excited to put my media skills to use and thankful that my professors embraced social media with open arms. Besides staying up on current trends, what else do you feel is key to a new pro being successful in a PR position? As a soon to be graduate I appreciate this post!

I am hoping my social media skills will help with the job search. Graduation is rearing its head and I am very eager to see where my new-found media skills can take me! I agree with all of this post!

I'm so impressed with today's professors who make social media participation a class requirement. This will go a long way to help new grads be successful from the get-go. Best of luck!

I have been hearing that we need to prepare ourselves for a tough job market, and that we need to be able to do any variety of tasks (all at the same time) and still maintain our sanity. It is not an easy task -- but you reinforce that we have been given the skills to enter the job market prepared for whatever may come our way. We are armed with professional blogging, tweeting and the basic skills of writing and communication that will help use be sucessful! Thank you for reassuring a soon-to-be-graduate.

I'll let all the young people just getting started in on another little secret. Many of the experience PR folks are great at the basics, but are intimidated by all the new tools and avenues. Things are moving quickly, and they need help.<br /><br />Questioning the status quo will not only help you grow, but you might just teach an old dog new tricks, too. I concur Kellye!
