PR Grouch asks should you be in PR?

 2nd December 2015    PR Guru 

When I was at college a careers adviser suggested I give up my dreams of working in television or radio, and concentrate on something less glamorous. Strange that someone with my looks and charm should be sidelined like that! Anyway, after a stint in print journalism, I ended up in PR, somewhere my talent could be put to better use. I am still hoping that one day I will actually a) find my talent, and b) use it.

To make sure you are making the most of your abilities, take this short quiz to see what career is ideal for you:

1. What is your preferred source of news?
 
a. Filmfare and Miss Malini

c. The news is scary. I learn stuff watching Arnab Goswami’s Newshour! 

2. What is your ideal night out?
 
a. Party! Party! Party!
b. Going out with a few friends to share chat, good wine and food.
c. I’d rather stay in, but a visit to Prithvi Theater  is acceptable.
 
3. It is time to do your accounts, how do you feel?
 
a. I can’t be bothered.
