I
have created this blog for my Digital Writing class at Newhouse. As Public Relations
students we ought to use and master digital platforms.
As
a brief reminder, I am French and I did my undergraduate degree in media and
communication studies at the university Pantheon-Assas in Paris. I did an
internship in Paris in a PR agency specialized in the fashion industry.
Although it is not anymore a sector I am interested in, it was my first steps
among the PR world. I came to
Newhouse school to get a Master's degree in Public Relations and gain
experience in this sector in another country than mine.
Public
Relations is not a sector as developed in France as it is in the United States.
That’s one of the main reasons that decided me to get a degree in this country.
I also wanted to get an international experience, as I would like to work
abroad or for an international company. As for now, my career goals are to work
either in the entertainment industry or the arts. More specifically I am
interested in working for a cultural focused organization. However, my choice
of career is also oriented by my desire to practice in the U.S. As I would like
to start my career in this country, I think I have to find an area that being
French is an asset. As for now, the luxury industry, a diplomatic or a public
affair position for an international organization, seem to be the best option.
Although it is not right now the areas I am focusing on, I want to explore them
through internships. I am also thinking of eventually going back to Europe to
work either in London or Paris in one these sectors.
My
career goals are therefore not set in stone yet, although I know which areas I
am most interested in.
