Last night was the BMA event at Manpower Inc. in Milwaukee. Personally, I felt that the evening was a success. Getting tips on how to better your professional self is always helpful. Especially when you're a college student trying to look for internships or jobs and trying to figure out what will make you stand out in the crowd. It also helped that we were able to get our resumes reviewed by more than one professional and interview with more than one professional. Personally, each professional that I spoke to had different tips and suggestions for me to walk away with. The part of the event that I liked the best/was most nervous for was the interviewing process. At first I was very nervous for the questions that I would be asked and I wasn't sure if I would be able to think on my feet. I feel like this part of the night was the most successful because I was able relax knowing that it wasn't an actual job interview. I liked that each professional had comment cards and were able to rate you on each aspect of the interview and still had time to personally give you tips on how to better your interviewing skills. Five minutes may not have seemed like a lot of time, but I learned a lot about myself in each five minute section. Overall, I had a great time and was thankful that I was able to meet as many professionals as I did.

The PR Student

Hello readers! My name is Courtney Omernick and I am a sophomore at UW-Whitewater. I am a Public Relations major and my minor is Arts Management.  At Whitewater I currently work for the University’s cable TV station where I spend most of my time filing paper work and making copies. Next year I hope to work for SEAL (Student Entertainment Awareness League) in their promotions department to help gain PR experience. In my free time I like being around my friends and family, running, dancing, reading and watching movies. At UW-Whitewater I am involved in PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America), Golden Key National Honour Society, Phi Eta Sigma National Honor Society and Dance Company. I’m hoping to get a PR internship for the summer of 2011 for a PR firm in Milwaukee.  In the summer of 2012 I hope to gain an internship for my Arts Management minor that will focus on doing some form of PR (promotions) for a band, theater, or an arts facility like the Milwaukee Public Museum. After I graduate from college my dream involves moving to California and working as a celebrity assistant. Although, one of my greatest loves in my life is music. I would love to work as a talent agent for a record label or stick to one band and tour do promotions with them.
