“Hi I’m kchoi. Welcome back to my channel” never get bored hearing that.

So I worked in digital communications/social media and now work at a PR firm. I really like it! Thanks for this video.

[therealsierra]

this was a sweet convo, social medias changing analytics are what have me most spooked about social media mgmt

[jimmyreads]

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Like your friend, I got into PR by chance and was burnt out after gaining some experince at an agency. Quit the job and went abroad to study MBA to look for more options beyond PR. Now got the degree with acquired skills and knowledge to make a career switch. Knowing that I might have to start from the bottom again and I am getting near to 30, I am still afraid to take the new step and embrace the challenges along with it.

I graduate next year and PR has had my heart since I saw that video earlier this year that u made. Since then I have completed a PR internship and even started doing my own PR for a book I published. Thank you for your work. You have an impact!

[tiffanynguyen]

+1 that internships can either make or break your perception of the industry, company, or career space!

[minaharker]

Thank you Kristina for inviting your friend Sam for this video. This is one of my favorite videos because I work in a small non-profit and have been working on the communication/social media section for a little bit. The video was informative, fun, and genuine as all your other career videos are.
