“I have had the pleasure of working with Jessica over the past several months to promote my young adult novel, A Match Made in High School. As a debut author, I was unsure of which avenues I could take to promote my book. I contacted Jessica, and she generously agreed to work with me for the experience alone. She outlined a comprehensive PR campaign for my book and guided me through each step with care and efficiency. Jessica is incredibly organized, enthusiastic, and professional.”

“Jessica was a pleasure to manage at PRowl Public Relations. She was an integral part of the firm’s start-up and was always looking for opportunities to learn more about the field of public relations and promote PRowl more effectively. She is hard-working and results-driven. Jessica would be an excellent addition to any team.”

“Jessica Lawlor is an outstanding lady with a very bright future ahead of her. She has been an active participant, guest poster, and reader of my blog www.mscareergirl.com. We have formed an excellent relationship over the last year in which I am excited to see her grow into her own career after graduation. Jessica is a proactive student who knows what she wants and how to get it! She has studied abroad, held major positions, and started her own organization on campus. My favorite thing about Jessica is her passion for reading and writing. She has already started writing her first novel before even graduating college! She has set a goal of how many books she wants to read in 2010 (and boy is it a high number!) and she also reviews other authors books on her blog- WOW! Jessica would be an asset to any group or organization!”

“Jessica is an amazing writer – you can tell that she’s a reader (she has a blog about books!) because she is an incredible reviewer. She’s written several book reviews on our site (http://www.WanderingEducators.com), as well as shared her experiences overseas several times. She has an engaging style, is extremely personable, and provides high-quality articles. She’s an extraordinary professional with a bright future.”

“When seeking to fill Come Recommended’s Public Relations Assistant position (contractor/freelancer), I knew Jessica Lawlor fit the bill immediately. I could tell just by speaking with her that she is a rising star in the public relations industry—and that’s exactly the type of person we needed. Unfortunately, Jessica was never able to show most of her incredible skills in this area because her contract was cut short due to product delays on our end. But, she still achieved a great deal in her time working with Come Recommended. Tasked with writing a public relations plan from start to finish, Jessica showed she has solid writing skills, the ability to ask insightful questions, strong research and analysis skills, and understands the importance of social media. She broke the plan down into manageable sections, and I was thoroughly impressed with her deliverables each and every time. Particularly impressive to me was Jessica’s understanding of the components of a successful, measureable public relations campaign. I offered to provide her an outline from which to start, and she told me there was no need—she knew what to do. So, I thought I’d see what she came back with and was pleasantly surprised that she wasn’t missing a single element. In fact, she included a few sections that had not come to mind but were incredibly useful to the overall planning process. Given the chance, I would absolutely hire Jessica again in the same or a similar role. I implore you to review Jessica’s résumé and invite her to interview so you can see what I’ve seen in her. Your organization will not regret it.”
