On The Prowl (OTP) in my vocabulary means Job Hunting. Where do you look specifically when hoping to land a full-time fashion/beauty/lifestyle Public Relations job? Is there a one-stop-shop with job listings? How does one become an Executive Office Assistant at let’s say, Elle Canada mag? It’s not as obvious as it may seem.
