Be a team player. No one person makes a great public relations program. Remember that always and you'll be recognized. Vow to be the very best at what you do. Be willing to work for it.
Public relations can be the most challenging and exciting career.
Make it that and don't settle for less. I've discovered my best job performance and personal satisfaction has come from those projects where I felt personally involved and impactful. This time can be either a meaningless, painful drudge or an exciting, rewarding work experience that leaves you feeling like you've made a significant contribution. If the job captures your heart and imagination, you'll be in the best possible position to excel.
