    Hi,

    Wondered if anyone would be able to help me please. I am working on a new business idea and would love to be able to talk to someone who does digital marketing and PR (who is involved in placing online content and adverts etc). I want to ask a few questions just to see if I can validate my idea to see if it has potential.

    Would anyone be able to help me please, I would take about 10 minutes by phone or Skype.

    Thanks in advance

    Tara

    PR degrees have been about for quite a few years now, but, to be honest I've never employed someone with one.

    To me it's not about whether you have a PR degree or not (or in fact any degree), it's about whether you have the core skills, aptitude, knowledge, personality and passion for what you do. Some of the best people I have employed don't have a degree at all.

    I don't mean that I wouldn't employ someone with a PR degree, but that it would be one factor amongst many, that I would consider, when shortlisting a candidate for interview.

    Having a degree in PR doesn't mean you are any more qualified to do PR than someone who doesn't have one, it just means that you have studied the subject at degree level. Anymore than the fact that I trained as a journalist intrinsically makes me a better writer, than someone who hasn't.

    I do however think degrees offering a sandwich year, where you work in PR does offer some value, in terms of on the job training and experience and helps PR graduates get that vital first job in PR.

    I also think the CIPR Diploma in Public Relations and the Masters offer a practical vocational qualification for experienced 'PR's'

    A degree certainly gives you a good base to start from but hands on work is a far better learning curve; not that qualifications (mine or anybody else's) bear any relevance to with the original question asked by Tara?!
