What does the Commission on Public Relations Education recommend you do to prepare for a career in public relations?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: You need a strong public relations education; one that is broad based, grounded in the liberal arts, and intertwined with business, language, the social sciences, and other disciplines. The commission says graduates should be responsible, flexible, and professionally oriented self-managers. They should be critical thinkers and problem solvers. They should be empathetic and respect diversity in its many forms. Among the skills they should possess are mastery of language in written and oral presentations, research methods and analysis, fluency in a foreign language, technological skills, and ethical decision-making.
