  1. Great show guys. I agree just about all the advice you give to students and wanted to add my own suggestion for an RSS reader. I like Blogbridge because of its smartfeed function. This does a persistent search among your feeds to provide a short list of ‘highly relevant’ recent posts. It works great!

  2. I really enjoyed this conversation; it was my first! I’ve been out of school for a little over a year and everything you guys discussed was so relevant and true. Having a complete online profile (or close to one) truly helped me land the Marketing Coordinator position that i have now.

    I’m hooked to Inside PR now! lol
