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 worked in public/media relations for a little over a year for a legal non-profit. My boss, who has worked in the industry for about 20-30 years, always said that the ability to write was the major thing for her. She and her friends would get resumes from people with PR degrees who couldn't put together a cover letter, let alone a news release. If you can write, and write well, I'd make that clear.
I found my past experience in journalism helpful, if for no other reason than it gave me perspective when pitching a story or even to local news outlets.
