Over the past two and a half weeks as a class we have been assigned to talk to a variety of different public relations departments in companies of our interest. Through the struggles of being hung up on immediately or put on hold for 20 plus minutes, this assignment not only allowed me to learn how the PR field works via telephone and email, but what type of field would I be interested in working for. Through all the ups and downs, I have found three businesses that have interested me and would possibly interest me in the future. The first department that I spoke to is one of the fastest growing technology advertisement companies in the United States which is CPX Interactive also known as CPXi. I first grew and interest in this company …show more content…
My department is in charge of our companies press releases, and running our social media pages. As well we make sure our clients are satisfied with our companies work. Our PR team can release information as simple as what important news are going around in the company, to what new beer is on tap this week at the company bar. We try to make our workers enjoy coming in to work and want them to make it feel like it is their second home. Whenever they are stressed with work I always tell them to go into one of our game rooms to either play some video games or take a quick nap.
The next question asked was, what exactly do you work on in your company? Like I mentioned earlier, I 'm the one who finalizes every major press release as well as making sure that our social media is up to date at all time and is following everything from new releases to the new trends going on around the world. Being in the field of public relations and social media, especially for a tech marketing company, you need to be on top of what 's new and what is new around the world. I also make sure as an overall company we are stable and pretty much in peace with everyone. Being in this business is very competitive and I need to make sure that our company develops together as a team.
The final question asked was, do you hire interns and students directly out of college? We actually just closed our summer internship applications for this upcoming summer
Everyone needs someone to talk for and be the face for a large company. That is where I see myself in ten years, working for a company as a public relations representative.

My public relations experience is mostly from two intense stints at the public relations consultancy Nam Consult and as the chief publicity and marketing executive for the poetry, music and art extravaganza, The B.O.G.O.F. I joined Nam Consult as an intern in January 2009 and after my internship was asked to stay. At Nam Consult I learnt about the challenges in running a PR business. In retrospect I learnt a deep appreciation for what it takes to be an entrepreneur in Marketing and Communication. The drive and persistence need to keep going in the field are astounding.
While I have never worked for a public relations firm, I do have experience working on a public relations team for a university. I believe that my variety of experience allows me to see how to be the best team player in a public relations firm, because I also see the sides of working for a newspaper or television station.
Allison Maloney is a public relation major currently but it has not been a direct path for her to come to her major and future career goal. She didn’t enter higher education with public relations in mind. When she started college she attended East Stroudsburg University as a Hospitality Major.

When I think about my future in public relations, I feel the non-profit sector is where I see myself. I can see myself working in non-profit public relations because it will force me to wear several different hats. I like the idea of doing different things each day. I am particularly drawn to the Ronald McDonald House for several different
“How did you find the PR program at Fanshawe college?” a student asked. With a slight laugh he explained that he had simply pulled up the Ontario Colleges website and started scrolling down the page of programs, reading the descriptions and crossing off the ones he didn't like. He did this until he found the Corporate Communications Program at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. With an undergrad under his belt he entered the very program that the students surrounding him were currently taking. This program led him to many places, most notably voices.com and later, Fanshawe College where he worked as a recruitment officer and currently as a Marketing Officer. MacKinnon explains that this position entails mostly communicating back and forth
From the time Pilgrims first landing in a new country that now call America, Englishman has started diplomacy with the Indian tribes. The English colonies dealt with other nations and signed trade and agreement years by years to keep peace and treaty. One of the key beliefs formed in this period, which the United States was a nation set apart and an example to the world, is almost as old as English colonization. John Winthrop’s has guided American diplomacy from the revolutionary era to the present. Winthrop said: “We shall be as a City upon a Hill, and the eyes of all people are upon us.” (McMahon pg. 3) A country’s foreign policy is the endless of decades of effort intended to response the needs of a nation, both domestic and international. The presidents derive their authorized power which are stated in the Constitution, those powers are; chief executive, commander in chief of the armed forces, and head of state. While Congress consisting of two parties: the House of Representative and the Senate has the power to investigate and oversee the executive branch. Which mean the Congress is very important as one of the three branch.
College for many young adults is a place to learn from our mistakes, create connections in our field, and build knowledge about the world around us. As a transfer student at Seton Hall, it has been my dream to learn about the many facets of my major, Public Relations. With my previous studies and six years of experience in the pre-dental field, I questioned myself when transferring if public relations is the right career choice for me. Of course, this decision was not an easy one, but with the help of my mentor, I realized that anything is possible.
As part of my practicum experience, I decided to focus on the areas of completion that appeared to further enhance me in my field of public relations such as: promotional media releases, event planning, etiquettes, and deadlines. With Ms. Castillo, I learned many things; however, the process was shaky.

I also constructed marketing campaigns for a non-profit and a local restaurant in Chicago for my college classes.
Due to the effects of Hollywood, space has often been described as the final frontier. While many may believe in this, in all actuality the last great frontier remains here on earth. This frontier lies just below the water’s surface, and to which the discussion of ownership is remains just as murky as its depths. Interests in the cultivation of the ocean has grown steadily over the more recent decades as more and more nations have claimed exclusive use of certain areas of the high seas. Traditionally while many have enjoyed vastly unhinged freedoms in regards to fishing many coastal nations have extended their exclusive fishing rights to nearby areas of the ocean, and now these same nations have begun to claim exclusive control of the seabed or continental shelf. This article will examine how these claims influence the international scene, explore the legality of the claims, and finally will take on the role of mediator by examining a proposal in regards to future control of the seabed with a special focus on the actions of the United States at this time.
Public Relations was the discipline that appealed to me most for a number of reasons. Firstly because of the experience I gained working for the CBA in relation to customer, or
When you were in high school, did you know what you wanted to be when you grew up? I didn’t have a clue; there were so many things to choose from. I finally made a choice to pursue something that fit my personality. However did you know, “Public Relations Specialists held about 275,200 jobs in 2008? “(Bureau of Labor Statistics, 5). Opportunities are best for college graduates who combine a degree in journalism, public relations, or another communications-related field with an internship in public relations.
