PR Open Mic is a great resource for both PR students and recent graduates. This media communication tool is like a Facebook for the PR world. For PR students it offers ways for you to invite other friends to see your profile. This will let PR majors communicate with them, share links, and get ideas from other students in the field.http://prblogs.org/
It also offers tips on how to get started with blogging. A lot of times students come into PR and don’t know what a blog is or how to go about managing one. PR mic offers a link to help out with a free way to get started.
It also offers several tools for recent graduates who are not in the real world. There is a whole section that is directed towards jobs and internships. In the area there are several links that will take you to all different sites that are offering opportunities for people who have recently graduated or looking for a job. http://www.propenmic.org/page/jobsinternships-main
PR Open Mic is also a great way to find out about events that are going on around you. These are great ways to meet people and network. http://www.propenmic.org/events/event/listUpcoming

I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF PR OPEN MIC. I HAVE ONNLY ACCESSED MY ACCOUNT ABOUT 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE CREATED IT. I FIND IT A BIT HARD TO USE, AND A LITTLE USELESS. HOWEVER I CANNOT DENY THAT IT IS AN EXCELLENT PR NETWORKIGN SITE TO USE. THE INTERNSHIPS PAGE IS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITES. ALTHOUGH I HAVE COMPLETED AN INTERNSHIP ALREADY I THINK THAT IT IS A GREAT TOOL TO USE FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR POSTIONS. THE JOB POSTING LINK IS ALSO ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
