On a day-to-day basis, Jamie is engaged in news monitoring, reporting and writing directly to her clients. She said she credits her success to PR classes like "News Editing and Copyreading," which gave her the skills to get through the day, including everyday tasks like e-mail writing.
"Every PR professional needs to be a good writer who's concise. If you're not a good writer, people won't think you're intelligent," Jamie said.
In addition to being in TGC for three semesters, Jamie also interned at Chico Performances, Gateway Science Museum and Juxtapoz, an online art and culture magazine. Her internships and time at TGC encouraged her to have a professional online presence, which led her to where she is today.
Jamie is an example of what social media can do for a graduate and a professional.
"I encourage people to be active on Twitter. You need to have a presence. People everywhere are networking," Jamie said.
However, when it comes to job searching through social networks, hunters need to be aware of what they reveal about themselves. These profiles need to remain professional and reflect their image in the best light possible, Jamie said.
Carefully crafting a professional profile is exactly what Jamie has done. Her tweets are clean and always mention what she's doing. It may be job related or simply mention that she's taking a visit to The Museum of Modern Art-along with 10 others. Her presence reflects her professionalism and her love for PR, art and culture.
Never will you see an embarrassing photo or heaven forbid, a spelling mistake.
"Be aware of your brand," Jamie said. "Everything you put online is in black and white."
