Top 3 Youtube videos of UWW PR Alumni

These videos are not in any kind of order.

This first video caught my attention because of the fact that they have Scott Walker coming to speak at their dinner. That's huge! There is some people that are all for Scott Walker and what he's doing as governor, and there are some people that are totally against what he's doing and what he's about. The fact that Jennie has to speak to the police about him coming and has to have security and will have protesters outside of the company shows that Scott Walker and the changes that he has made and are making for our state  is a very controversial issue and the fact that he spoke at Forward Janesville's dinner is a big deal.

This second video caught my attention because Melissa seems very cool and down to earth. She seems very understanding, and very easy to talk to. I also related to what she was saying when she said that PR was for her because before college she was always asked to be the spokesperson for group projects and never had a problem speaking publicly and that's how it was for me as well! I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life when I came to college, and after talking to a few different upperclassmen and taking the intro to public relations class, i knew that this was my nitch and that's very similar to Melissa's story. I felt like I related to her the most.

This last video caught my attention for a few of reasons. The first reason is because I actually know Rick Daniels. He is very cool and down to earth but is very professional at the same time. The second reason why this video stuck out to me was because I had no idea that Rick majored in Public Relations! That is such a good thing to know because I can go to him and ask for advice about what I should and what I should not do as a Public Relations student. The last reason why this stuck out to me was because I didn't know that PR was a part of Greek life. It makes sense, I just didn't know that.

Public Relations Trends

I find it very interesting that social media is such a big part of Public Relations because I know that aren’t too many other careers that will use social media sites, such as http://www.twitter.com/ as a part of their job. I feel that twitter is a good social media site because there are so many connections and so many people to network with and http://www.facebook.com/  as well. http://www.youtube.com is actually another good social media aspect for PR because almost anything can be posted on YouTube and can be seen by anyone in the world which his good for Public Relations and marketing as well.

BMA Event

I thought that the BMA event was AWESOME! It felt really good get feedback about myself and my resume from actual professionals. I thought that the resume part was important because I got two different views about my resume, both good and not so good which will help me to improve. But the most valuable part to me was the speed interviews. Even though I messed up a couple of times, I got a lot of good feedback about my confidence, appearence, and overall positive attitude. But I was told that i could work on my preparation to questions being asked and my overall response to questions. I took everything that was said to me as constructive criticism and will use everything to make me stronger for the future.

All about ME!!!

Hello,

My name is Brittney Manns and I am a second year Public Relations student at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. I didn't come into college knowing that Public Relations was my destiny... I came into college as a pre- business major. I thought that I wanted to own my own business, but as I looked in to the classes that I had to take and realized that most of the classes were math related, that changed my mind. I then talked to an upperclassmen and they said that I had a good speaking voice, and that i should look into Public Relations. I looked into the major and realized that this is what I wanted to do with my life so here I am!  My short term goal is to learn more about Public Relations and get internships and my long term goal graduate from UW-Whitewater within the next two years and get settled into my career working at a Public Relations agency. After working at a PR agency for a little while, I plan on moving to a big city ( probably chicago because I don't want to be too far from my family) and being very sucessful with my Public Relations degree.
