Subject: Future growth and options for Public Relations
Date: 16-Apr-2002
Question: I am 26 years old with a post graduate diploma in advertising and public relations from IIMC, New Delhi. I have worked for 2 years in advertising and then decided to switch. I have been employed in India's leading chamber of commerce at a post where I am responsible for India's business development with a certain developed country, which means execution through events, seminars, conferences, press meetings etc through interactions with counterparts in the Ministry of External Affairs, Foreign Embassies, leading Indian and Foreign business houses, CEOs, Press, amongst others.

What should be my next career path of growth? Can I work in UN organisations in India or International Agencies? And in which capacity? Please help me with your advice.

Answer: All young people want to reach the moon by the night flight. You too are ambitious. It is good. Back it up by action.

Please go and meet the UN office Public Relations Officer and seek his or her advise on what you want to do. They will help you consolidate your experience to minimum that they may have to enable you to get in to their organization, if possible at all.

Your counsel.
