PRLab at Boston University

After four years of hard work and growth, my undergraduate journey at Boston University has finally come to a fulfilling close. #LastDayofUndergraduate From my initial days filled with curiosity at 640 Commonwealth Avenue to now, where I can skillfully apply communication and public relations theories to solve real-world problems, every step has been a testament to countless efforts and perseverance. During my time at the College of Communication, I gained not just professional knowledge but also new perspectives on viewing the world. Every classroom discussion and every hands-on project deepened my understanding of the global landscape. Particularly, my practical experiences at PRLab at Boston University truly made me appreciate the responsibilities and challenges of being a PR professional. Throughout these four years, I've encountered many outstanding professors and classmates whose guidance and friendship will remain a valuable treasure in my life. Thank you, Boston University, Boston University College of Communication and thank you to everyone who has helped, supported, and accompanied me along this path. Because of you, I am ready to courageously turn the page to a new chapter in my life.

Be Your Own Biggest Fan: How to Approach “Tell Me About Yourself”  By: Ashley Facey, Account Supervisor 1. It’s not bragging, it’s advertising 🎊 Knowing your strengths and aspirations and then sharing that information does not make you sound conceited or stuck up. Anyone who tries to convince you otherwise is trying to dull your sparkle (even if that person is you). 2. People DO judge books by their covers - have a good title page 📕 The way you present yourself is the first thing people notice about you. Knowing how to describe your capabilities, experiences, and value is a display of confidence and self assurance. 3. Take control of your narrative 📖 No one knows your story better than you, so you should be the absolute best at crafting, perfecting, and sharing your story. 4. Have a formula 📊 What do you want interviewers to know about you? You can create your own formula using factors about your identity, interests, aspirations, and even your hobbies. 5. Return the favor 👥 Ask the interviewer about themselves! Further the conversation and have a good 'ol chit chat. You never know what you can find in common.

How Networking Has Affected My Career Path By: Bianca Gawencki, Account Supervisor “I researched industries and companies I desired to work in, sent out tons of applications, and waited. By November, my fear was coming true and nothing had come of my efforts. I've always been told about the importance of networking throughout my time at BU COM, but I was too nervous to cold-call or email anyone as an applicant of my standing. I somehow decided it was time to get over that stress and start directly reaching out.” As a college student, how many times have we heard about the importance of networking? The answer is probably plenty. Some of us might be afraid or skeptical about networking and the benefits of it. In our latest blog post, Bianca recounted how networking has helped her land an internship but affected her career path.
