Au revoir but not goodbye
I’m not very good at these things, but let me give it a go anyway…
Some of you know and some of you don’t, but tomorrow marks my last day at BlueSky and the end of an era!
Almost four years ago I started my journey at BlueSky HQ as a fresh-faced graduate knowing not very much about the world of recruitment, or PR. Fast forward to 2011 and well, I still look as young as I did back then, but like [...]

Hi I’m Sara and I’m the newest member of the Blue Sky team!
I’m a recent English graduate from the University of Exeter. Since graduating I’ve spent 8 months working in contract SEO copywriting, social media and blogging roles, in both the recruitment and education sectors, and now I’m thrilled to bring my writing experience to a wider PR role.

I worked for the Ministry of Defence (MOD) for three years. It was a real shock to the system when I made the move from the private sector. Not only was it the change in pace, culture and processes that I had to get my head round; it was also the archaic computer systems. It was like going back in time!

Hi All
I am Nicki Probets and I am the newest member here at BlueSky!
Before joining BlueSky I worked in an internal marketing communications role within the Ministry of Defence; I was in this role for three years. Prior to this I worked for four years at an award winning performance improvement agency in a marketing, pr and events position. I have gained a great deal of communications experience working in both the private and public sector, which I can bring [...]

Further to our recent post Working in PR for Grown Ups, we had lots of response from some great freelance journalists – the problem was they wanted to stay as freelance journalists and what we need is someone who can not only write – and write well – but who can also account manage.
We’ve had a lot of new business wins recently – and have a raft of potential client meetings stretching into the autumn. Clients we [...]

Might you be interested in working in PR if you could spend a big proportion of your time writing about interesting stuff and dealing with intelligent, informed people? If so, perhaps we should be talking! We’re looking for new people to join us – ideally with a background in journalism.
And why are we so interested in journalists? Because much of our time is spent in taking the knowledge inside our clients’ heads and turning it into written interesting, authoritative material [...]

I attended the Social Media in Recruitment Workshop last week hosted by Peter Gold and what a day it was. I had agreed to help Peter on the day and turned up at the British Library early to help set up; after the initial problem of not being able to get into the British Library (the gates were all locked up at 8:30) I was responsible for registering the delegates along with Lisa Scales and Claire Dalton and by 9:30 [...]

Here’s another quick entry with a big hello from BlueSky’s latest ‘newest recruit’. As Stephanie has established a tradition of new faces introducing themelves on the blog, it’s now my turn to say hi.
I’ve just joined BlueSky from a four year background in PR and marketing for the toy and gadget sector. This might sound like fun, and it was, but it’s also big business and the gadget news sector in particular is at the forefront of new media and social networking, [...]
