I can't believe I'm graduating...

I am a public relations and Spanish major at the University of Georgia in Athens. For my public relations campaigns class, the capstone course for the major, we have been asked to write a blog. Since I am graduating this May, I'll be using this blog to share my job-searching adventures and to let you in on everything I learn along the way.

Although I am nervous about finding a job, especially finding the right job, I could not be more excited about working in public relations. I started college as a broadcast news major, but became frustrated with the virtually non-existent job security and the likelihood of having to move all over the country to keep up. After deciding to change my major, I had a great deal of trouble choosing a replacement. My mom had always suggested that I go in to public relations, but at that point, I was unsure about what public relations really entailed. After doing some research, I realized that PR was the exact major I had been looking for.

My dream is to work in a PR agency in Atlanta, but with some strong competition and no prior agency experience, I definitely have my work cut out for me.
