About the Blog

Rebecca and Shantae are polar opposites.

Please note: Rebecca taught Shantae the "hand on hip" trick. Works every time.

Shantae is a city girl; Rebecca grew up on a 50-acre plot in the middle of nowhere.

Shantae is allergic to tomatoes and cooks fabulous chicken dinners on a whim; Rebecca has a terrible habit of eating chips and salsa as a meal.

Shantae is known for her sassy persona; Rebecca is known for her sweet, classy demeanor.

Although they’re different, these Kent State University public relations majors (and roommates) have two things in common: They enjoy warming up the coffee pot at 11 p.m., and they’re both confident, aspiring public relations professionals searching for employment after graduation in May 2010.

From creating a strategic job-search plan to applying, interviewing and making career-altering decisions, this blog will follow Shantae and Rebecca’s journey as the future professionals search for public relations careers amidst a recession. 

Please note: The opinions and views discussed in this blog are Shantae and Rebecca’s.  In no way do they reflect the opinions of their employers, university, friends or family, unless stated otherwise.
