Push - up, Padding, and Extra Support

July 6th, 2005 by Megan

I like to think that I do not have a naive view on this matter, but I truly feel I have seen the best side of Public Relations and its practitioners. The ones I have encountered (at least thus far) have all been positive, there to catch me when I fall (or prevent me from doing so!), as well as a knowledge base for me to learn from.

I think it is an important and refreshing aspect to our career field when we are able to make suggestions with out hesitation if we think that we can help. My new best blog-friend Jeremy Pepper shared with me recently an idea that I will surely be able to use when I reach my new job. He even went to the trouble to send it snail mail, to include a hand written letter and a newspaper clipping. I was very impressed and very thankful that he would go to that trouble and take the time to make sure I got that information! So, Cheers to Jeremy!

I hope that as I transition from my “practice-real-life-experience” into my truly real-life experiences, my encounters will remain as pushed-up, padded, and extra supportive as my…well…my college experience has been. Truly.

    Megan, you don’t seem the double entendre type girl, and you are in the genteel South. As a ‘dirty’ Northerner, it made me laugh, but be careful of others that might read this blog.

    I’m happy to have helped, and hope you do have good mentors as you go through your career. And, well, the article was the same day that I had written the comment about your new gig so I had to send it.

    And, yes, I expect a book, natch.

    Thank you for the note, Megan. It was very kind, and you didn’t need to go that far. And, if they do give you that line, just push that it’s time to move forward and try new things. :)
    Heck, if my Mom could do that in the 70’s, you can do that in the 00’s. And, the best ally would be the PTA, since it would be a good program with all of them (some nice name recognition, since you put each person’s name by their entry - and then you can decide who to use for the press outreach).
    And, fine. War Eagle. Geez.
