Don’t fret.

Soon you’ll discover how much you will contribute to how others view the people you are supporting by your words and deeds.

PR is a profession where you continually learn and I would be amazed if even the most experienced and seasoned PR pro believed that he/she had nothing left to learn. It sounds like you're stepping off on the right foot because you know what you don't know. But try not to know your limitations. Also, go out there and make some mistakes but, most importantly, learn from them. Paul Arden, the ex creative director of Saatchi and Saatchi said: "The person that makes no mistakes makes nothing at all". Cheesey, yes but there's some truth in it. :-) I can guarantee that in a year’s time when you read through this post again you’ll be surprised how much PR knowledge you have acquired in those 12 months.

I'm sure there are things that you can also draw on from your studies at University that will be helpful to others, so don't beat yourself up too much as a newbie.

The great thing about being thrown in the deep end is that you quickly find out if you can sink or swim. You're still at Strive after a month, so it looks like you've got your swimming badge and are ready for some open water. Just mind the sharks ;) Just wanted to welcome you to the blogosphere.
