Key Takeaways

  • Go for interesting opportunities! Be professional, but be sure to get what you want out of opportunities. Lizzie participated in the Miss Universe Ohio University internship. There she learned about the different aspects of public relations.
  • Learn the difference between agency and in-house and which one you wish to go into. With in-house, the brand is your entire career and with an agency, you will be working with a few brands at the same time.
  • Be aware of a company culture before you start work there. Trust your gut with where you need to be.
  • It is not always what you know, but if you are willing to learn.
