If you want a career in PR, but are finding it difficult to get your foot in the door, here’s the answer. We’re offering you the opportunity to gain great hands on experience of PR work across online, broadcast and print media.
You’ll draft press releases, put together media hit lists for specific projects, conduct research and send requests for support to celebrities. To make sure you get the most out of this experience, you’ll also be invited to all relevant meetings and given fortnightly one-to-one feedback.
So, what do you need to be invited for an interview? Firstly, knowledge of PR and the media, and an understanding of celebrity culture. Secondly, because you’ll be dealing with a wide range of people as our representative, we must be able to rely on you to express yourself well in speech and writing, and not make mistakes. You also need strong administrative and PC skills – particularly Excel and Word – a good understanding of social media and the ability to move from one task to another as the occasion demands. Much of the time you’ll work independently, but you’ll be involved in teamwork too, so you will need to be good at both.
That we expect you to support our aim of building a fair and just world where everyone can claim their rights, almost goes without saying, but cannot be overlooked.
Meet our criteria and you can look forward to a fantastic experience that will be thoroughly rewarding and standout on your CV.
