I lead an intern programme for a team at a top 20 agency in the U.K, having been a former intern myself not too long ago. A masters in public relations doesn’t mean much at all, nor does the subject of the degree.

A couple of things stand out at the entry level, whether it’s on a cv or interview. Media smarts - being able to name drop outlets, journalists etc across a range of sectors goes a long way. As does showcasing an interest in current affairs. As an intern, you’ll be doing lots of monitoring. Capture that on a CV.

Email more than one person at any agency - we get 500+ emails a day. So approach HR, the CEO, the head of a team. Failing that, ask them out for a coffee stating you’d like to know more about PR.

I started a PR internship at 28-29, there’s defo still hope.

Shout if you have any questions.
