I found out about Help a PR Pro Out day through my twitter contacts Danny Brown and Dave Fleet. It's a great idea to hook up PR Pros in need of work with potential opportunities.
I am a PR Pro based in the west end of the GTA who needs the right entry level opportunity. My situation is a little unique, I am a mid career transition, which in simple terms makes more seasoned than your average junior.
I graduated from the Ryerson PR certificate program and worked with the Rubber Association of Canada on their Be Tire Smart community relations pilot project launch as project manager. Currently I'm doing pro bono work with the Bronte Historical Society here in Oakville to raise awareness of their arts and cultural programming through community and social media.
So what makes me different than other recent grads breaking into PR? I bring to the table from my previous life is experience in project management, vendor relations, managing multiple projects, working on a diversified team ranging from senior management to call centre associates and I can get up to speed fast on projects. Most importantly I bring my enthusiasm for the profession what I have done so far in PR I have really enjoyed.
My main focus is in either agency or a corporate opportunity in Downtown Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville or Burlington.
I can be reached through my twitter account, via email at william_b_smith(at)hotmail.com or you can get all that and more at my online resume site. Alternately, I am attending Podcamp Toronto tomorrow at Ryerson University and we can talk in person at some point during the day.
Either way you find me, I would like to get the conversation going to see how I can help you out with your PR challenges.
