Ryan – Completely agree. I think as professionals, we could be better about saving these things during work too. Heaven forbid if something were to happen at your job, there’s no going back to capture it all.

Will be submitting a post soon. I haven’t forgotten :)

Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep your example in mind when younger students ask me why it’s important to bring porfolio pieces to internship interviews.

That’s how it all goes, it doesn’t matter that you have the same or less abilities as the other candidate sitting next to you, this doesn’t have to intimidate you. What really makes the difference is the way you put yourself out there, how much effort are you willing to invest in you, in the building of your young image.

The example that you gave perfectly illustrated these things in a simple way. I realize more and more that as the industry of public relations is continuously evolving, so should be the way in which you enter this market. The portfolio should be a very good pass to this.

Great post, Ryan.
