I aspire to become a Public Relations Consultant, and I feel that this task has assisted in furthering my organizational skills and communication skills, which are essential to a career in my chosen field. Additionally, I have learned how to collaborate in a way that a “happy medium” can be found, which often involves listening and taking the time to intersect your ideas with that of others. I can admittedly be a control freak at times, but this task required me to take a step back and ensure that each individual within the group had a fair say. As a PR Consultant, it would be my job to bridge the gap between companies and consumers, which requires a profound understanding of both groups and the needs of people in general. PB4 assisted me in developing these skills through the task of working with constraints and understanding whom our target audience is.
Upon completion of PB4, I ideally wanted to have produced two essays that I was genuinely proud of, and that were a reflection of each of my group’s members and ideas and to produce two essays that reflect us in a way that is parallel to the constraints of the task. I feel that we were able to exceed even our own expectations and create two productions that honestly express what we have learned in this course and I am so proud of my group and our final essays.
