Strengths and Weaknesses

After reading Dave Fleet’s 14 Key Attributes for New PR Professionals, it would be a good idea to take a personal inventory. I am certain that I have experience in the traditional skills. I have received positive comments on my work ethic, writing, proofreading (attention to details) and being proactive.

The new skills are ones that need strengthening. Learning more about SEO and encoding would be very helpful, and I have a good idea of where to go for help. Increasing my knowledge and involvement in social networks would also be beneficial. A large part of me is reluctant to reveal so much about my self; and frankly, I have no desire to share parts of my life with the entire Web world. A shortage of time is the main reason that I have not connected with more people on facebook. For the professional reasons and contacts, I will make it a much higher priority.

  1. It is hard sometimes to keep up with everything on the web and new connection sites are always arriving but good for you for wanting to make it a higher priority because it is very important. I am right there with you for increasing knowledge and involvement in social networks. Great post!
