Comments on How do I get into Public Relations/Events and CSI

Get some serious experience of business and industry by Wiseowl

While there are many openings for qualified PR specialists, what sets the "good" apart from the average is their knowledge and understanding of the business world in general. Without an understanding of business and business strategy, how can PR (and even less so, CSI) be anything more than a superficial add-on? My advice would be to gain experience at first-hand of as many different and hard-headed business disciplines as possible, or at least, to obtain a business qualification!

Incompetence perception by KJ

You're at a third level of your study,and you still write like that? I think you need to pamper your writing skills first, since I question it on the basis of my perception of your incompetence based on how you have structured your request. I guess this is a reason why you cannot be employed at this stage.

I think you need to get over yourself, you understood what she's looking for so, why all the grumpiness...

You're so misleading by Mr Smile Hendrick

I think KJ is right in terms of the statement he made about Phumla's seeming writing incompetence. To reinforce KJ's assertion, I would not employ Phumla, since PR is mostly about communication. Hence, if you cannot communicate coherently and effectively, why should I hire you to represent me and my organisation on a linguistic plane.
