What kind of profession?
PR technologies are popular all over the world. The household name of the profession owes its origin to the translation of the English abbreviation, briefly denoting public relations.
No large company can do without the work of specialists in this area. The reputation and popularity of the company among potential customers depends on the professionalism of employees. The concept of events to promote various projects and development to create the image of companies and individuals, are the main goal of PR specialists. Even elections to state authorities are not without their participation. It’s right to introduce the candidate to the electorate, make the necessary list of meetings and speeches, choose a line of behavior - the work of a PR manager.
If we consider world history, then representatives of this profession can be found in the ancient world. Did the priests of the Greek gods not perform the functions of PR managers? They formed the image and presented to the population the image of their idols. Signs of PR can be found in any country throughout human history. Its main tool is the art of eloquence, which is able to convey the idea to the masses and direct actions in the right direction.
The first true public relations departments appeared in America at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Harvard University is considered the progenitor of this profession. The year 1912 marked the creation of the first official public relations bureau. And in the 30s of the last century, the Democratic Party of America created a workplace called "Public Relations Officer." Since that time, PR management is considered a separate area of work for any company and organization. A new word has come up that means the employee’s profession: “reliever”.

The development of PR technologies is intensively carried out in the modern world. Against the backdrop of strong competition in any field of production, trade and social policy, the demand for specialists in this profession remains high and is growing every year.
