ByThere are many career options available to you once you successful complete the training at The Internet Marketing Training Center. Public Relations is an industry that has changed rapidly over the past few years. Public Relations is defined as your reputation- the result of what you do and what others say about you. Business owners are always looking for ways to manage their public image with their target market.
Social media has changed the way we traditionally think about and handle PR. We live in an “I want it now” society and that is affecting the traditional approach to PR.
