I really appreciate your input. I am always unsure if it is appropriate to contact prospective employers if they aren't hiring. Yet the idea of an informational interview sounds like the perfect solution! It's also nice to hear about so many other students going through the same process.Thanks, Marissa Lindsay,

I, too, am a senior PR student graduating in June. I really appreciate your input. I am always unsure if it is appropriate to contact prospective employers if they aren’t hiring. Yet the idea of an informational interview sounds like the perfect solution! It’s also nice to hear about so many other students going through the same process.

Thanks,
Marissa

Making those networks is very important. It is the best way to get your foot in the door and start making relationships. It is best to start the job search early and to continue to search.

I agree that networking and previous internship experience are the key components in finding a job in PR industry. I guess I'm just a little skeptic about online networks and their contribution to my job search. While I think social media skills are necessary for any aspiring PR professional, I think that the majority of firms are still pretty "traditional" when it comes to hiring new PR grads. Hi Lindsay,

Especially if you are looking for employment in the area where you are currently starting school. You never know, there may be a way to start part-time before you have even graduated. In this job market... if that's what you had to do for the job, DO IT. Under these conditions, my vote is - never too soon. I honestly think that it is NEVER too soon.
