So over the last two months, I've been killing it in the internship, particularly with the press releases. I also put together a PR campaign strategy proposal (in 40 minutes, after one of our PR interns who had that as their final assignment did a horrendous job and left us scrambling), that in combination with the press release I wrote for that client, landed us a major account.

Called every PR firm in town. Only one or two hiring, and I couldn't get so much as an interview. Called other leads the boss came up with... nothing.

And then today happened. I was officially promoted to Director of Public Relations for the firm, and will be responsible for establishing and growing the PR division. I still need to adjunct for now, but it's another big step forward to completing my exit from academia.
