Landing your first role in PR [Free download]

So, you want to get into PR?

Good on you. It’s an industry with the power to do wondrous things for people and brands; by spreading awareness and influencing change. That’s why we like it. And we’d love to help more people be part of it. However, securing an entry-level role or internship can be tough.

Listen, we get it. You’re scouring job boards, emailing companies, and refreshing LinkedIn wondering why jobs tagged ‘entry-level’ require 1-2 years of experience.

If we could help every one of you land your first role in PR, we would.

Here’s the thing; PR agencies typically manage the recruitment of interns and entry-level talent themselves to avoid recruitment fees. This means you stand the best chance of landing a role by directly applying to companies.

To help you out, we’ve compiled a guide to give newbies (like you!) some tips on how to put your best foot forward and land your first role.

And no, we’re not going to tell you to ‘make a creative CV’ or ‘do some research’. That’s basic, BS advice and you’ve probably heard it 10,000 times before. We’re here to cut the fluff and give you actionable advice that will get you noticed. The sort of stuff most recruiters or careers advisors don’t tell you. E.g:

  • How to structure your CV so it actually gets read
  • What information to research and where to find it
  • Where to find PR agencies that are worth applying to
  • How to use LinkedIn to get noticed
  • Industry schemes that support graduates and diverse talent get a foot in the door
  • What to wear to an interview and how to answer questions like “Why do you want to work in PR?”

 

Practical, useful information that’ll help get you noticed by hiring managers – and hopefully, hired.
