Hello blogger world. I feel as if I haven't been here in a while. Wait, I haven't. I took a moment to abandon what I know and just really put it all out there. The results are good I'm happy to report. I've been offered a fashion PR job here in Atlanta working on an urban clothing line that's just launched in Atlanta, NYC, and LA. Now, before you guys and gals go get all happy there's a catch. If I dont' produce results, I'm going to get *FIRED. While I know you're like yeah duh, this is a large amount of pressure. It won't be like anything personal, but they're testing out the value and use of PR in branding and launching a name for themselves. While I know I can handle anything that comes my way, I'm worried b/c in PR I can't MAKE people do anything ya know? I can try to draw publicity, but at the end of the day people will buy the product or they won't. So, I'm hesitant to take the job, get an apt in my name and then get fired in Nov. But, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. I can finally break into the industry and do what I've always wanted to do. Not just PR, but fashion PR. Something I thought only the lucky ones with connections like Lauren Conrad were capable of. I'm just a military brat from the burbs! Something else to consider, I would be the sole In-House Public Relations Representative. That's scary as hell! I've done a *minor* fashion pr internship and taken PR classes, but they pretty much teach you textbook history, not how to really DO pr lol. I went to Border's and bought Guerilla PR 2.0. I'm so scared to take on such a big risk without any such direction knowing the people I am working for are such buisnessmen and want to see results. Help!
Life and times of a girl in search of it all.
