I’m not new to PR but I do believe
that we learn new things everyday. I have had phenomenal experiences working in
PR for the South African Navy; and many people would die for the opportunities
that I had and would kill to meet the people I have met. For me PR is one of
the most interesting careers I have stumbled across in my life. I have worked
in many places before the Navy; whilst in the Navy I changed my career 4 times,
the fourth change for me was the best. I realised that this is where I want to
be and that this was my calling.
Working in PR requires a lot of hard
work, but in the end it all pays off. Many people I know who work in PR don’t have
the formal qualification. This is not a bad thing; however, I believe that
getting a formal qualification would bring a better understanding and reasoning
for you when you work in the field. Many people would talk about personal
experiences as being the best form towards your qualification, which I agree
with fully, but what we also need to know is that there are many different
methods, cultures, traditions and people out in the world.
Studying PR at Central was a bit
different for me because coming from a military background and from a country with
a diverse background was a big change for me. But as I said in the beginning of
my blog, we learn new things everyday. PR has changed my life a lot it has made
me more patient and understanding, especially when it comes to people and their
needs and wants. It also taught me to treat everyone like they are very
important to you and with respect because you will never know where and when
you might need that network as a life line again.
