Public Relations and Communications Career Information
Public relations and communications specialists serve as advocates for businesses, nonprofit associations, universities, hospitals, and other organizations, and build and maintain positive relationships with the public. As managers recognize the growing importance of good public relations to the success of their organizations, they increasingly rely on public relations specialists for advice on the strategy and policy of such programs.
Although employment in public relations and communications is projected to increase much faster than the average, keen competition is expected for entry-level public relations and communications jobs.
Opportunities should be best for college graduates who combine a degree in public relations or other communications-related fields with a public relations and communications internship or other related work experience.
The ability to write and speak well is essential.
