I received a letter today from the Office Of Curriculum Advising, I have officially graduated from Ryerson University's post degree certificate in Public Relations. I am getting the certificate mailed to me in a few weeks, it is an important turning point but I just want to move on, I still have this job search to contend with.
In other news this morning I met an independent PR practitioner and photographer Helen Grose for coffee at my favourite local meeting spot, the Green Bean. It was productive meeting, we talked about PR, Helen gave me some sage advice on managing managers, how to approach certain people in the Southern Ontario Public Relations community and provided all important contacts for me to follow up with.
I met Helen online through flickr, as both of us are photography enthusiasts. I admired her work for several weeks and it also turned out we had mutual friends. Moral of today's events, potential contacts are everywhere including your extra curricular activities that have nothing to do with work, so always be at the ready for potential networking opportunities.
