PR Girl’s Guide to…Job Searching
Whether you’re fresh out of college, looking to switch jobs or an experienced pro looking for a change, job searching is tough and no one really enjoys it. If you’re currently unemployed and actively seeking a new opportunity to sink your teeth into, the search often feels endless and frustrating.

The Post-Grad Struggle
Is struggling in your career a completely normal, run-of-the-mill thing? I hate to even admit this, being a Type A person, but lately I’ve been feeling a bit like I’m struggling at work.
