Key Points:
- Experience is more important than a GPA.
- You might not know what you want to do right now, but you figure that out as you do internships and get more experience.
- Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something, but be sure to always look at the big picture.
- Always think of who, what, where, when, why, and how.
- There is nothing wrong with asking for help.
- Network, network, network!
- The first time you talk to someone, you aren’t selling anything. You are trying to make them your friend. Listen and let them talk.
- When doing an assignment, always take it one step further.
- Go to an interview with six questions you already know the answer to.
- Jill started her own PR firm and if you want to do something like that, make a plan now.
