Seattle PRSA Jumpstart ConferenceFiled Under: Uncategorized
I will be speaking at the Public Relations Society’s Seattle Chapter’s Jumpstart event on April 4. I’ll be talking about transitioning from one industry into PR. In my case, I went from being a respectable journalist to tech PR. I wrote for several newspapers around Seattle before taking a role with a company called Etelos.
The event is geared toward students and those that are contemplating a career in public relations. I will be on a panel with Roy Henslee of Boeing, Terry LaBrue from APR and Carolyn Sueno from Wilson PR.
One piece of advice
I haven’t yet decided on my one piece of advice. I’m torn between “be genuine” and “don’t suck.” Kind of obvious choices, I know. But they are essential to the success of any PR person.
What one piece of advice would YOU give somebody considering a career in public relations? If you want to find out what my advice is, come to the conference!

I’d go with “don’t suck” over “be genuine”. If you genuinely suck, it’s better to be someone else who doesn’t suck.
