Lauren Novo's PR Journey

In addition to maintaining my own blog, I enjoy contributing to others when the opportunities arise. Listed below are descriptions of and links to posts I’ve written elsewhere. Happy Reading!

1. Those of you who follow my blog know how much I enjoy the #PRStudChat – a monthly twitter chat between public relations students, professionals and educators. Its impact on me is so great, in fact, that it inspired my blogging endeavor in the first place. Check out my post at the FPRA Tallahassee Student Chapter blog entitled: “Students: help put the ‘stud’ in #PRStudChat.”
2. I’m the kind of person who always likes to be prepared…but some things cannot be predicted or prevented. So what do we do with that? Read my thoughts on AnnieFiedler.wordpress.com: “Crisis Communications: on a more personal note.”
3. Gen-Y has a lot of expectations when entering the workforce. But what, specifically, is it that we want? High pay? Praise? In my first contribution at The Next Great Generation blog, I explore the question: “What’s Your Professional Love Language?”
4. Are you trying to land a job in PR? Don’t go into your interview unprepared! Check out some of my tips on theprepguide.wordpress.com: “PRepster Lauren Novo on Key Messages.”
5. For #bemyguest month, an initiative throughout March to connect bloggers of all industries, I decided to contribute a post to The Next Great Generation blog that is completely unrelated to PR. Check out 500 Days of Summer: what this 2009 flick says about Gen-Y.
6. Ever fail to think something all the way through? Sure, we all have! Read about three different times that happened to me: I Should Have Known Better.
7. This is not a guest blog, but actually an article I contributed to Platform Magazine. Check it out: Staying All Over the Radar.
8. One of my friends and PR mentors — @JasMollica — asked: What Inspires You? Here’s my response: What Inspires Me? You!
9. Fellow FPRA member and blogger — @NikiPocock — asked me to write about technology from the Gen-Y perspective. This is what I came up with: Gen-Y: Living in a Technology-Driven World
10. For the first time ever, I was given the opportunity to write a guest column! Thanks @ValerieSimon for the opportunity: PR Student Lands the Job and Shares Advice on the Job Search
11. During “Education Week” on The Next Great Generation blog, I shared my thoughts on college.  What Did You Get Out of College?
12. I was asked to contribute an American perspective to a European PR blog. The result: The American Dream in a PR World.
