Embrace the Summer Slowdown: Plan Your Next Move
As summer gets into full swing and many people are on hols, you may notice that your inbox isn’t as busy as usual. Instead of idling away or catching up on the new Netflix series, why not take some time to focus on your next big career move?
Summer often brings a slower pace in the PR industry. Clients take time off, and the news cycle tends to be less hectic, so it's the perfect opportunity to be productive!
Enhance Your Skills
Have you always wanted to get to grips with a new social media tool or take a course? Now is the perfect time to do it. Explore online courses or webinars that can improve your expertise and provide valuable topics to discuss with potential employers.
Network Effectively
With many people away, this is an ideal chance to set up informal chats or virtual meet-ups. Reconnect with industry peers, mentors, or even those contacts you've been meaning to reach out to. A casual conversation could lead to exciting new opportunities!
Update Your CV + Portfolio
Summer is a great time to reflect on your achievements. Use this time to refresh your CV and portfolio. Highlight your best PR campaigns and quantify your successes. When it's all done, send it to PR CROWD - [email protected] - so we can assist you with new opportunities. When job openings arise, we'll all be well-prepared!

Explore Agency Culture
If you're considering a change, take this time to research potential agencies. What are their values/ethos? What kind of clients do they work with? Gaining insights into how different agencies operate will really help when discussing with a recruiter the type of agency you want to join next.
Kickstart Your Side Project
Use these quiet moments to start that side hustle. Whether it's launching your own blog to showcase your writing skills to different audiences or starting a social media channel to expand your reach – it could enhance your portfolio and might evolve into something more significant than you expected!
Crack on!?
When summer ends and autumn approaches, you’ll be in great shape to embark on your next agency adventure with confidence. Make the most of this opportunity! ??
