7 tips for your PR internship
There’s much more to an internship than just showing up, putting in your time, and adding the gig to your resume. Here’s how to get the most out of your opportunity.
For most, it is a great opportunity to find out what interests you (or does not interest you) about the public relations industry, get a network of contacts, gain experience to bulk up that resume, and possibly earn a little cash in the process. Before you step foot into the office, here’s a list of seven tips to help you get the most out of your internship.
1. Have a good attitude.

As a manager, I am always excited to give more responsibility to interns who show eagerness, enthusiasm, and a can-do spirit.
2. Go above and beyond.
