30 jobs in the PR and marketing world
As summer approaches, opportunities for recent college graduates abound. Get noticed by networking and asking a PR pro for advice. These tips—and jobs—can get you started.
Networking is essential in PR, but it’s rarely taught in school.
Mastering that skillset often takes time, practice and an ability to shake off plenty of rejection. Although some PR pros learned how to network at a young age, for many the process is something you “stumble through.”

These are formative years [when] students can start practicing and building their networks.
