Master Class #85: The Benefits of Surviving a Political Campaign
If you worked on a political campaign this fall, congratulations. It is over!
But as you now look at the stack of unread mail on your counter, a refrigerator with only a jug of milk dated May 3, and piles of unwashed laundry everywhere, you should be proud.
Why?
Because you learned valuable skills in media engagement. You
- Monitored Election Coverage: You kept track of election news and identified opportunities in a crazy 24-hour news cycle.
- Developed Media Relationships: You built critical relationships with journalists that will benefit you and your future clients over and over.
- Pitched Story Ideas: You proposed stories that connected your candidate to the public and helped them win.
- Prepped for Media Interviews: After dealing daily with the press, you are now ready for anything.
Now go leverage the power of elections to advance your goals and take your next career step - after you nap for about a week. Oh, and call your mom. She is worried sick.
