Blagging as blogging

Well done to Alexandra Pullin who's blogging about her experiences on her way to getting a plum job in PR. This is an excellent blag and she even has a picture of herself smerking a tab. If you don't know what that means, move three spaces back in PR. What do you need to know about getting a graduate job in PR? 1. Live, sleep, eat and breathe media. You already do by the look of the blog. 2. Have a character. Just be yourself. Don't say dwarling. Ever. 3. Talk to as many people as you can who have DONE what you're trying to do. Drew Benvie in UK is a good source of advice as is Morgan McLintic in the US. Good luck and nice work.

Thank you for the kind words and the advice.

The picture on my blog has been a bit of a dividing point. In all honesty it is the only one I have of myself where it doesn't look as though things are growing out of my head (see the one on the bad pitch petition)!
