As a new student to the field of PR and one who’s already had one internship, I can say that my experience as an intern opened my eyes to what the job as a communication director is all about. Despite the fact that the internship I was part of was unpaid, I learned a lot through my experience and encourage others to network like I did in order to be part of something, not just on the sidelines watching it happen.
Megan — You are on the right track! An active network and a resume packed with strong internship experience will offer you a key competitive advantage as you transition from pre-professional to professional.
