Advice for Young PR’s Blogging on Politics
This week a comment was posted to my blog asking for advice for a young PR pro who has a number of blog postings published regarding politics.
Here is some of the comment, which was posted by Jennifer Shulz.
“I am a pr student who has quite a history of political involvement. I feel that I cannot personally go into “cave mode” and become uninvolved in politics. I currently do not blog about pr however, just politics.”
“I also am at a loss as how to present this experience on my resume when I am applying to positions that are not necessarily politics-related. I have typed up several versions of my resume, sometimes listing political affiliation and other times not. Should I forgo the listing of my political experience altogether?”
I’ve got a few views on this, which I will share here. But I’d love to open Jennifer’s questions up to the Forward readership. I’ll put forward some advice about political blogging, but resumes aren’t my forte.
