Mona Williams Wal-Mart's VP of Corporate Communications recently was a guest lecturer in my University of Texas pr strategies class. She offered great advice on personal strategies for success in our careers.....

  • The ability to write, edit and spell is imperative. (She tests all prospective employees)
  • Dress professionally and up to the job you aspire for.
  • Be continually well read. She suggests the Wall Street Journal, Time and Newsweek hard copy or online.
  • Have business acumen. Understand the business environment and what drives your organization to success.
  • Don't be all about yourself. Be actively supportive to all you work with.

Great advice.
