Here are 10 tell-tale signs that your public relations career is coming to an end \u2013 and that you should be turning your thoughts to retirement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You not only know what a type writer is, you can remember how to change the ribbon.<\/li>\n
  2. You cherish\u00a0the memory of not having a cell phone, and still being able to get the job done.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  3. When you drove to a client meeting, you jotted\u00a0down the odometer readings from your dashboard so you could get reimbursed for travel. No Mapquest or GPS.<\/li>\n
  4. You remember planning press conferences when reporters actually showed up.<\/li>\n
  5. You remember the days when you actually spoke to reporters on the phone and faxed press releases to the newsrooms.<\/li>\n
  6. When you called a newsroom to pitch stories, they were staffed by 12 full-time people, four weekend reporters, and a\u00a0sports department that worked around-the-clock.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n
  7. You know what a Rolodex is, and envied the overstuffed one of that grizzled media relations bigfoot down the hall.<\/li>\n
  8. There was only 1 kind of mail. Spam was edible. Twitter was for the birds.<\/li>\n
  9. Viral meant you needed to go home and get plenty of bed rest.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  10. When asked how long you\u2019ve been in the field, you have to pinch yourself. Then you begin to mumble.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
