If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere

Yes. I know this is not about New York. But I feel exactly the same way when it comes to succeeding in the London's PR industry.

So here I am. An eastern European bloke with a degree in Journalism and Communication Sciences obtained at Romania's oldest and most prestigious University, but still... Romania's. Doing a Masters in Communication at Westminster University, not Cambridge, nor Oxford, just trying to break in the London's famous PR industry during, and here comes the best part, what has been called the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of 1930's.

So I apply to jobs, the guardian and pr week are becoming my favourite sites ever. I go to interviews, I meet some people, but everywhere experience is required. And I say to myself of course it is required... with all those people made redundant in this white collar crisis. It's always safer to hire the more experienced candidate in stead of the (maybe) more creative one.

I'm not naive and of course I have to survive... So in the mean time I found myself a job in catering at Lord's Cricket Ground.

So all I need now is an internship in PR, somewhere to start from...

Take care & tetrales bahtalo!

Your friend, Florin
