Image Credibility: Lisa Moore

Having a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a Masters in Educational organizational leadership, Lisa Moore stuck to her three tips that involved networking with others, having her mind set on new opportunities, and most importantly staying relevant which  landed her a Public Relations career within Indiana State University.

“I didn’t start my career in PR,” said Moore, “I have a Bachelor’s in psychology, I think that’s a good basis of learning about people and how they work and I also have a Masters in Educational organizational leadership, which is a higher education administration Master’s Program that I received at the University of Illinois in Urbana, Champaign.”

And in the Field of Public relations the best thing to learn besides proper speaking terms and building connections with those around you, but also learning to please everyone, which wasn’t a surprise to Moore.

After meeting with Lisa Moore I learned there was more to a Public Relations Specialist than just communicating with others, but remembering what you represent and who you are in the process of remaining relevant in a career path so active.

“Prior to being in the Communications and Marketing department, I worked in ISU alumni association, said Moore, “I have the opportunity to travel and see alum’s and help, so it’s always great to see the events come together.”

But that’s not all that comes with Moore.

“I have just joined CASE, which stands for Council for advancement and support of education, said Moore, “It’s professionals who work in alumni communications.”

Within this organization of 70,000 members and 3,600 universities, Moore gives more details on how it does fundraising, marketing, and many other hands on events for those involved.

Overall, the interview held with Moore was a success and one of the most important things that stuck with me when being in the Public Relations field, is of course… remain relevant while networking with those that will lead you down the right path of a great career.

Effective Blogging Today

3-5 tips for effective blogging:

• Make sure that your blog page is set up correctly.

When another blogger visits your blog page, they should be capable of understanding every activity and/or post that has been placed on your page, from most current to least current.

• Keep your posting current and interesting!

Remain active on your blog page with new and eye-catching topics, this way more bloggers would be more interested with visiting your blog site because they know you as someone who keeps their page filled with exciting, new, and interesting blog topics for them to read and possibly comment about.

• Allow comments and/or feedback under your posts!

It’s always nice to receive feedback from other bloggers who have taken their time out to read your blog post. With comments and/or feedback being allowed on your page you will have the chance of meeting other bloggers with the same interest as you as well as networking which is always a plus.

3-5 tips for making effective blog comments:

• Capture your readers attention with a creative title!

The better the title topic, the more likely a blogger is to read and eventually comment under your post. Make sure it catches the attention of anyone scrolling down a page. For instance, a blogger is more likely to stop and read about an article that says “Troops fighting for over a decade finally come home to their families” rather than “Troops are back”.

• Engage in comments using more than one sentences!

When another blogger comments under your post, make sure, if you can, reply to their comment. Building a mutual understanding with another person is always great for business, especially in a field that deals with much networking. Also, make sure to actually respond back with something enlightening, “I like this article. Very nice.” won’t cut it. Elaborate on why you liked the article, what stood out to you, and what you’ve learned from reading information within the post.

• Include outgoing links for more information!

Though you may have paraphrased a specific topic onto your blog page, include a link that will give another blogger a better understanding of why you posted the article in the first place.
