I feel I am currently in this boat as job seeker with a degree not in public relations but I feel I have the transferable skills to do a good job in this field. This post gave me a boost of confidence and now I know it is up to me to try to sell my previous skills to future employers. Thanks for the advice Margie.

I know it's easy for me to say, since I've always been a PR gal, but folks seem to have a real problem with seeing how their past skills are applicable to PR. And if you can't "sell yourself," I'd imagine it will be hard for you to pitch someone/something else! .-= Margie´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FlackrabbitPrFlack/Writer/Geek/~3/149iP4ZTvD0/" rel="nofollow">Push aside your pride and embrace peer review</a> =-.
