Last Tuesday I was asked by my course leader at the University of Gloucestershire to show new students around the campus. The students had arrived to be interviewed for the PR course and it occurred to me that exactly this time last year I was having my interview for the very same course. Five we meant to have come but only four turned up. Unfortunately we had a heavy snow storm during the night and so a couple of families admitted to being unsure about making the journey.

Interestingly the four who had made it were all girls which fulfilled the stereotype that PR is a female dominated industry. We had such a discussion in class about a month ago without any real conclusion. However, from what I have seen, the majority of professionals do seem to be females. Perhaps this is because women have all the right emotional parts of the brain to deal with effective communication? Anyway, I’m not entirely certain. What I am sure about was the prospective students I showed around the university, with another student called Amelia, were charming. We had some interesting discussions about the course and I can see them all fitting in. The only question I was unable to answer was about the clubs in town, I hate clubs.

Due to how the interviews panned out I ended up guiding two of the prospective students back to reception. On the way I sneakily and sleekly inquired how they thought their interview went. Both of the girls seemed to be happy with the whole ordeal.
