Job Shadowing 2012


Missouri State’s Chapter of PRSSA presents Job Shadowing 2012. This is your chance to experience what a day looks like in the world of a PR or communications professional.

The deadline to sign-up is December 8 at midnight. To sign-up, email your name, year in school, and dream mentor, organization or sector of PR to prssa.mostate@gmail.com.

Over Christmas break, PRSSA will contact different professionals and match you up with your ideal mentor. At our Jan. 31 meeting, we will announce your mental match and provide contact information. (If you are interested in shadowing someone in St. Louis or Kansas City, it is a possible option, so indicate it in your email.)

During the month of February, you and your mentor can decide when you want to meet up. Each participant will be required to turn in a picture, video or blog post about their Job Shadowing experience by Feb. 29 at midnight. The author of the best entry will get a $25 gift certificate to a TBA clothing store to build their professional wardrobe. Here is an example of a good blog post by Bethany Parry who shadowed Andrea Harp last year.

At the beginning of March, we will have a party with everyone who participated and the professionals we shadowed and announce the winner of the contest, or the “Top PR Sleuth.” All of quality entries will be published on our social media sites.

Don't forget to sign-up by Dec. 8!
