I actually got an interview for a small local publishing company to do their publicity.
My experience: account executive for a radio cluster and my recent commercial real estate venture, plus sorority PR experience. BA in English.
Any advice?
Any GCers in a similar position want to share info?

I would say be very very careful. Do as MUCH research as you can with these companies before you go to interviews. I say that because Im very similar to you. I have a BA in Speech Communication/PR and I am registered on monster jobs and career builder and a lot of public relations companies have been jumping out at me contacting me about them seeing my resume and because its such a prominent websites, you know I trust these companies. But at least in Philadelphia, and surrounding cities, a lot of these companies I have been coming aross have been either illegal or scam companies that feed off of each other. One company may have ONE name and come to find out there are brances and little small companies and you have to be very careful. Because I know they ar e preying on recent college graduates or people looking for employment with not that much experiene. I must say however their marketing tactics are on point lol. But nonetheless, I would just say do plenty of research!!! If you can at every cost google the name of the company. If they dont have a national website or if its a small company and you cant verify its credentials, I would beware... but keep up the good look
