 PPW Community : Angela Sarkis Spring 05
Angela Sarkis is a Communications and Rhetoric major who decided to take the PPW certificate because it “is a practical way to learn how and where to use writing in the workplace.” She feels that the certificate can help her achieve her career goals because it has taught her how to hone her writing skills.
Angela lends this advice to her fellow PPW students: “Don't be afraid to ask for informational interviews--people in the professional writing field are usually generous with their time and happy to talk about their accomplishments (remember, they were in our shoes not too long ago).
Angela believes that learning how to write quickly and concisely has helped her through papers in her schoolwork, and she believes that the PPW certificate has helped her develop skills that will make her marketable in the field of public relations.

Angela believes that what she has learned in her public and professional writing classes—Written Professional Communication, Writing for the Public, and Persuasive Writing for Advertising and Fundraising— has been an immense help to her success in her internship.

It also sets out very usefully some of the issues and how to approach them and outlines some of the different models and structures that can be used.
