SCSU Professional Panel Notes
For those of you who missed the professional panel here are some important tips/notes that I want to pass on to you!!
Career Fairs
Go to career fairs!!! Make sure you go up to the employers you're interested in - explain the job position you'd like to apply for and explain the qualities you have that you believe fit well for the job position - similar to "Elevator Pitch". Then ask, can you tell me more about the position?
Amy from Target said if a student uses this approach, by the end she will be trying to convince YOU to interview with her, instead of the other way around :)
Interview Tips:
DON'T: When asking your interviewer questions about the company you want to work for - don't ask anything you can find simply by using google.
DO: It helps to ask your interviewer questions about their own work or own experiences at the company - get them talking about themselves!
DO: Have in mind 7 stories/experiences/situations that helped make you the person you are - answer them like this - 10% on situation, 80% Action/Behavior and 10% Result/Overview

Interested in Crisis Communications?
I don't know about you, but I love reading up on crisis communications. I think it is a learning opportunity for everyone in PR - especially if the crisis is handled well by a pr specialist.
PRSA has a great article
"Domino’s delivers during crisis: The company’s step-by-step response after a vulgar video goes viral" - http://bit.ly/BdHgp
I hope you'll enjoy reading this!

BrandWeek Article - Stay up on the news!
BrandWeek's Stacy Straczynski just wrote an article about how Gender and Behavior Influence Teen Buying. Teens were put into 11 categories, including "young metrosexuals" and "jockettes".
Check it out if you're interested http://bit.ly/2OxL1 - very cool article!
Interview Tip: Please keep in mind that it is important to stay up to date on current news and events in our career field. It also can't hurt to study different markets out there.
In PR and Marketing, many interviewers are impressed to see that students are keeping up to date on the news. It also helps if a student reads a couple of news sources religiously, especially if they read certain journalists on a day to day basis! This will impress your interviewer.
MY RECOMMENDATION: Start today - it is never too late. Subscribe to the trib online or in print - http://bit.ly/7Zvou
It also helps to get some national news, try USA Today - http://bit.ly/1c820
or The New York Times - http://bit.ly/1wvsy
