Five steps to your first communications and PR job
- Know what the work is. A communications and PR manages what a company says in public and to its own staff: press, announcements, brand. Beginner postings today use titles like Brand Marketing Analyst | Betty CA; Senior Analyst Relations Manager; Binance Accelerator Program - Public Relations; Communications Associate; Senior Brand Manager.
- Learn the duties, not only the tools. Postings for this work describe what you will do more than which software you will use: read ten of them and list the duties that repeat.
- Build proof you can show. Two or three results with a number, from a job, a course project or volunteer work. The kind of line a recruiter looks for: “Earned 60 pieces of press coverage in a year, 9 of them in national outlets”.
- Write the resume and the letter. Start from the communications and PR resume example and the cover letter example, and replace every line with your own.
- Apply where beginners are hired. 20 of today’s 232 open communications and PR jobs are junior or intern roles or ask for two years of experience or less. See the open jobs and check each one with the resume match checker before you apply.
