• Presentation: Public relations job interviews are essentially presentations. You must engage the interviewers and get them interested in what you have to say. Your presentation is your own personal PR.
• Interview content: You need to fit solid content into your public relations job interview. Don’t use unnecessary expressions, clichés or overextended statements. Don’t answer any question off the cuff. Think about everything you say.
• Appearance and dress: PR people have to present themselves both to media and to clients on a regular basis. Do not give the impression that you’re too casual.
• Don’t be “average” or “industry standard” in this interview. Like a PR campaign, you need to establish a unique brand identity for yourself. Standout interviewees are often the only people actually considered for jobs.
• Employer background: Researching a potential employer is always a good idea, but in PR it’s absolutely essential because of the diversity of the market and the PR firms. No two are alike, in terms of clientele and market operations. You must prove you understand the employer’s current business. Ask relevant questions about the business when you receive the opportunity.

Good Luck!!!

Just about to start a new job and feeling a bit nervous? Here’s a few quick tips to ensure you dazzle your new employers from day one…

Use this opportunity to avoid old bad habits and instead become the employee you want to be. Develop new habits and a new routine and you may surprise yourself!

Find a Mentor – someone who is senior in your company will be able to point you in the right direction, so catch up for a coffee on a regular basis.

Don’t be afraid to ask for help! It doesn’t mean you are stupid, quite the opposite. It will show your co-workers you are eager to learn and want to do the job well.

And most importantly, have fun!

Head – Strong intellectual horsepower. In the digitally-driven and social media-obsessed world PR moves quickly, and if you can’t think fast you are going to be left behind. A 2:1 degree is essential, preferably from a Russell Group university. If you have a Masters, even better. You must be an information junkie – when there is so much readily available, you will be expected to keep up to date with the news from your client’s area of business.

Heart – Caring and social skills are really important in a team-based consulting environment, so you’ll need to show you can get on with different types of people and communicate effectively.

Guts – Measured in one question…do you want to be the best?

So that’s what you need to come with. What do you get in return? This agency values their staff, without the right team how can a company be truly successful? Internal promotion is important to them – and it is up to you how quickly you want to progress. There is a really strong mentoring and development environment here, a great work/life balance and an environment where people do not take themselves too seriously.

If you tick these three boxes, get in touch now.
