In just two short weeks, publicist Janice Yu-Moran went from social media stalking a company she admired to working on its public relations team — a testament to the rewards of identifying a good fit, then keeping an eye on the prize until an opportunity arises.
Now, as an account publicist at Wagstaff Worldwide, an agency specializing in hospitality PR, Janice’s days are usually filled with media and client meetings. It’s a fast-paced job with long to-do lists and no slow season, but we love her tips for avoiding burnout. And her no-nonsense advice to not settle for the wrong job is something we’ve all needed to hear at some point: “I’m a strong believer that the only way to do great work is to love what you do…” she says. “When you stop caring about your work, it’s a sign that you need to make a change or move on.”
