nyc PR girls Review

While scanning the list of  “60 of the best public relations blogs in the world,” I was searching for a site that would catch my eye and answer some PR questions I had in my head. The first site to catch my eye was nyc PR girls. This blog is run by two twenty- something girls living the dream in NYC. This blog contains very useful information for anybody in the field of public relations. What I liked the most was that they were brutally honest- not everyday in PR is pretty. What these authors do is give you advice to at least try to make everyday pretty.

A post that I particularly enjoyed was entitled Balancing Act. This post contains so many details about how to handle a typical work day, what to expect, and most importantly- what not to do. Balancing work and social life is something most people find very difficult when beginning a new job, and the author Emily gives excellent insight on how to handle it.

Another awesome part of this blog is that the authors offer Q&A. Readers can write in their questions and concerns about beginning positions in the PR field, and these PR gurus reply with their best advice and insights.

If you are at all interested in reading, this blog also contains some recommendations on books that will help anybody showing interest in the PR field. After looking at the list, there were plenty of titles I added to my reading list.

Overall, this blog really made me more interested in the different aspects of PR. The authors really do an awesome job of getting people who are unsure if PR is the best option for them excited about exploring the field, and if people are interested in the field they give great insight for internships and what the next steps to success are.

 

The Quintessential College Lifestyle Blog

I am totally new to the world of blogging, and let me tell you, I had a blast searching blogs over the past week or so. I love the world of fashion, learning career tips, and reading some college survival tips. (we all need help sometimes, right?) I found a blog written by Kayla Buell that did it all for me. She writes about real life scenarios and gives tips for those of us feeling a little lost.

Kayla has a blog entitled GEN Y GIRL– Millennial Career and Lifestyle Blog. There a multitude of reasons I was interested in her blog and writing style. Her blog is very clean-cut and easy to follow. She has all of her pieces grouped into categories. Want to learn how to be rich in your twenties? There’s a tab for that. Her writing is also very relatable to anybody in their twenties. She writes about things we all can relate to- the internship search, how to save money, and even how to make yourself happy.

I love that Kayla keeps her blog simple, but still keeps the reader eager to read all of her work. She has great titles to her pieces, which I’ve realized is important and ultimately, got me to be interested in what she had to say. So, that is something I  hope to incorporate into my own writing. It is hard to get people interested in what you have to say, and starting with a good title is an excellent way to get the reader’s attention.

There was honestly nothing I disliked about Kayla’s  blog. It kept me wanting to read, contained the perfect amount of pictures, and contained topics that every twenty something would want to read. I am looking forward to keeping up with Kayla’s blog this semester, and of course beginning my blogging journey.
