I was able to come in and start in an executive position only because of what I had learned. In the six months I've been working here, we have increased sales by 40% over the previous year."

Associate Degree: Public Relations Is about Telling the Truth

Associate degreeBy Damiano Shehu, an Albanian student from Tirana on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

I just recently completed the “Public Relations” course. This course was really great because I realized that everyone in this world deals with people at least a couple of times a day. Thus it is extremely crucial that one knows the Public Relations (PR) Technology to help facilitate relations with people.

I always thought that PR was pretending to be someone you’re not in order to impress people or lying to make you or your company appear better. From this course, I learned that one never lies in PR. PR has been improperly used in contemporary society. It is used for forwarding lies, creating war and supporting vested interests.  We call that black PR.  On the other hand, “white PR” is public relations that forwards pro-survival actions and products.

I really enjoyed this course. I think that every individual that works with people needs to have this data. The only way for an organization, business or individual to expand is by maintaining a friendly relation with their public and environment. PR contains the technology that achieves this.

The HCA is a self-paced business school that offers an exceptional business administration curriculum, unique learning technology, life-changing apprenticeships and internships, assistance with job placement and a lifetime warranty for students.  I am currently on the “How to Increase Profits through Proper Financial Planning” apprenticeship.

    That’s absolutely right, I had meet a salesman who want to sell me some nutrition stuff, and I was conceived about what he said. But the true is, all were lies. So had better be honest in PRing.
