If you've only just begun your career...  by  NICKY
Then count this as experience. Focus on honing the skills you have gained - make each press release better than the last and take pride in what you do. You are building the foundation of your career right now. (And I promise you that everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side!)

in the same boat  by  politics of PR
Hi,
I am in the same position as you. I am currently employed as the PRO for a political party. At first I found it rather stiff as well; very confined and boring. But then I started to explore and expose the Party to the promotions aspect of PR; now I love it. I deal with the media, corporates, diplomats and NGO's; arrange all events, conferences and workshops.
There are ways of exploring the more PR of politics, remember the tools you've learnt and adapt them to your current situation.
It has worked very well for me. Now, I love what i do.

attitude buddy
Hey, you have only been doing this for a month. You are teething, its way to early for you to have such a dismissive attitude. Stay positive and master what you are doing now, it will open a window of opportunities in the near future.....

God is in Control!  by  Carri Mngenela
Stay focused and realise that God has placed you there
for a reason, the God we serve is a powerful God.
He would never put you in a job, where you would not
grow;no matter how Insignificant your duties may appear to be.
The Lord is busy moulding you for the next step, you have to start somewhere in order for you to get to the Golry.
You could already be in the Glory, you might just miss it!
Hold on to your faith. Work hard and be obedient. Success
is yours my sister in Christ. HALLELUYER!!!
P.S some of us are still looking, count your blessings!
