Even though PRSSA National Conference doesn’t take place
until early November, it isn’t too early to begin getting ready for the
professional experience of the year!
Summer is a great time to stock up on much needed supplies
as well as revamp your professional materials, so don’t spend all
of your free time in the next two months soaking up the sun:
1: Stock up on Professional Wardrobe Essentials: During the
last few weeks of the summer, stores begin to display their fall collections,
which means that summer clothes go on sale. This is a perfect opportunity for
students to buy nice shirts or professional dresses that are marked down significantly
after being on the racks throughout the summer. These pieces can be layered with
blazers, sweaters, or cardigans, which will take away their summer feel and
have you more prepared for the November weather in Atlanta, Georgia!
2. Update your Resume: After many days of tanning in the sun
or swimming in a pool, you may feel the itch to be productive again. If this is
the case, there is no better task to pour your new-found productivity into than
updating your resume! You will want to have a proofread, clean copy of your
latest achievements for National Conference, and it won’t take you too long to
update your current one!
3. Create an Online Portfolio: With so many free website
builders out there, it is easy to create your own personal portfolio site
without having to pay anything. Also, you shouldn’t get nervous if you have no
experience with website development. Many of the businesses that give you the
option of creating your own site will give you free templates to choose from,
and oftentimes, there are helpful guides and tutorials to get you through the
set up and maintenance of your creation. Also, think of how great it will look
to have your own custom website listed on your business card when networking
with the professionals at National Conference!
