“To put it simply, healthcare communication is stable,” said Haynes. “Early in my career I thought it would pigeonhole me, but it really opened up doors for future careers.”
Amanda Maddox’s advice for building a network:
•Maintain relationships with your professors
•Reach out to professionals on LinkedIn
•Your peers are also a crucial part of your network
#networking
Maddox stresses the importance of creating a network of people who will help you grow.
“When you’re starting off your career, get a mentor,” she said. “Find someone who can give you solid advice about the career that you’re going into.”
When asked to give advice on creating a work-life-balance and maintaining a wholistic life, @PatrickFemia said, “establish barriers for yourself and communicate those barriers.” #ugaprssa#ugagrady
“Even if it’s not your dream internship, learn as much as you can from it,” Daley McCallum said when asked to share her advice for students applying to internships.
We are excited to announce our virtual panel with @UGAprssa on Tuesday, February 22 at 6:30 p.m. This event is focused on the impact crisis communication has on a variety of professions within public relations. Stay tuned for an official Zoom link on Feb. 22!

@PRDaily Not that different than I was told: work hard, rise above, go the EXTRA mile, make sure your NOT expendable, be RESPECTFUL & DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT burn bridges. The boss you hate - you’ll run into them down the road in a position to HELP your career & they WILL remember.
