1/24 homework

I am an ISC major who is focusing on public relations. An event in the news that relates to my field in Justin Bieber's recent arrest in Miami. The event relates to my career field because every celebrity has a publicist who is in charge of maintaining his image to the public. People in my field care about this event because what Bieber did is a publicists worst nightmare and something that everyone in the field may have to deal with at some point in their career. This could raise ethical questions or dilemmas in my field because what he did was very wrong but it is still his publicists job to cover it up and make it okay, despite what their views are. In my future company, a stakeholder could view this very differently. If they had something personal happen to them, such as a relative dying from drinking and driving, they might not be okay with covering up Bieber driving under the influence. Yes, I would acknowledge the relevance of this in a meeting because it is a big deal and something the whole company should know about. I also would bring this event up to stakeholders to build credibility because it is a big deal and is I am able to rebuild his image after this, it would be something to tell people.

The first job ad I found was for an entry level public relations and marketing position in Chicago at J.M.E marketing. I found the listing on careerbuilder.com. I chose to apply for this job because it says they are one of the top performing companies in the United States and is in a big city like where I would like to live. I also meet the job requirements such as being a team player and having interpersonal skills. The second job ad I found was for a public relations assistant at an event/promotions and planning firm in Houston. I found this listing on careerbuilder.com as well. I chose to apply for this job because along with public relations, I also want to do some event planning for promotional events as well. I also meet the job requirements such as having a B.A. in ISC and being very organized. The third job ad I found was also for a public relations assistant at an event/promotions and planning firm in Nashville. I found this ad on careerbuilder.com. I would apply for this job because it is a bigger city but is still pretty close to Kentucky, which is where I am from. I also meet all of the requirements and would do a great job with the position. I learned a lot about the companies from their ads. All three were professional and very clear cut about what type of person they were looking for to fill the position. Once I have all of my job search documents completed, I would apply for the position in Nashville. I would apply there because Nashville is a great city that is still close to my hometown. The position offers everything I will be looking for in a job. Along with public relations, I am very interested in event planning and this position fulfills both of those. I meet all of the job requirements and am confident that I would thrive in that position.
