Omar: Nice to hear from you. I got your LinkedIn invite, but didn't have a clue who you were. Chris: Thanks for dropping by! Robert: Everybody who has been a student (and who hasn't?) should do what they can to encourage/mentor those who are just starting out. I still remember the rejection letter I got from one person who treated me with great respect, even though I had no experience as a political researcher. That one letter gave me the confidence to keep chasing after the right job. Richard: I wish I was as good at networking as I am at advising people to network!

I think I can claim that I have started to many of the things on your list already, and hope to expand on them further in the months and years to come. Let's hope it does translate into desired positions (as opposed to just any "job"). If not, I might just come knocking on your door. The world of PR is definately new to me.

I'd say in public relations that 'the network is the business'. Your very helpful advice quite rightly encourages young PR practioners to develop their online and offline networks - just like Paull Young.
