3–4 p.m. EST

Learn how you can accelerate your public relations career even when job opportunities are scarce. Hear from communications strategist Jenny Schade, who will discuss how to grow your career in the midst of a dismal economy. A former therapist, Jenny has interviewed more than 1,000 employees in the process of guiding organizations through turbulent change. Jenny will then lead a discussion with a panel of Accredited pros who will discuss how becoming Accredited in public relations helped them become accomplished public relations practitioners. The panel will discuss what they, as employers, now look for in their hiring processes and how being Accredited can help job searchers land that special job.
