Seven months later…

Time sure does pass quickly these days.  Nearly seven months since my last post, I realize that visitors to this blog get a pretty inaccurate picture of where I am and what I’m doing.

I’ve noticed that the majority of traffic comes via Twitter.  It’s humbling to know that people are actually interested in clicking through to find out more about me.  However, I’m pretty sure that my credibility is diminished upon arrival.  Therefore, I’m going to make a conscious effort to update more regularly and reinforce my street cred. 

First, I’ll give a little update on my whereabouts. Since moving back to Toronto last fall, I’ve landed on the digital consulting team at High Road Communications.  With that move, I achieved what I’ve been working towards for the past two years — my first real job.  I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for all the personal and professional support along the way.  In my young career I’ve met a load of great people that have shown blind faith in helping me along the way.  I hope one day I can return the favour.

Side note to all of those PR grads just entering the field… 

Sure the economy is in a downturn, but my situation is proof that there’s still opportunity out there.  Here is my advice in a nutshell:

• A unique skill set is a marketable skill set
• Networking really does work
• Almost crossing the line between persistent and annoying is not crossing the line
