As Dee related in his previous post, see below, there are other positive things to do online and other ways to explore online for public relations practices. The students involved in Marcomblog at Auburn University have been preparing their final projects for their Style and Design class. Always wanting to help promote them to you in the public relations world, I’m cross-posting this from my blog.

Spring semester brought something new for the PR Style and Design class. They published their digital resumes and portfolios online.

The students completed their final projects this week. The links below lead to their digital resumes and portfolios.

In the past, some students took it upon themselves to do this. Each semester, more and more chose that path. So, I thought about having all the students stake their place online with a resume.

I think this is a positive opportunity. Already, some of the students have received positive feedback from those they’ve applied to for internships and jobs.

A diverse group, these students are either graduating, heading out to do their internships or about to search for internships/jobs. So, if you’re interested in hiring … check these links out now.

Well, it’s been nearly 90 days since I stopped blogging cold turkey. Since then I’ve hosted the first meeting of the Denver Social Media Club, I’ve survived countless attacks on my credibility, I’ve seen my business grow just for my attention to it, I’ve purchased a new home, I’ve moderated several Web 2.0 discussions, I’ve listened in on several more. All without blogging.

One of my good friends who is a recovering alcoholic told me that one of the greatest things about his initial visits to AA back in the days he was trying to quit drinking, was the other recovering alcoholics who led him to believe that he could actually live his life without alcohol…something he didn’t believe was possible at the time.

Lemme see…I’m on a panel for the IAOC in a couple of weeks talking about blogging…I’ve been asked to write a whitepaper for a well-known PR publication about social media…I’m going to Scotland golfing with my father…and guess what, I don’t think I’ll blog.

Try to enjoy your summer! Look positively towards the many possible career choices you have. Blog if you want to…but don’t blog because you think you must.
