Why you should consider becoming a PR pro

For today’s new job market entrants, it’s totally normal to have several jobs and careers all at once. Known as the “slash generation”, you see young people who are marketing execs/yoga instructors/DJs—all at once! But for those who have been working for a little while, and have gone a bit further up the food chain, change can be daunting.

There are not many benefits from the COVID-19 crisis, but it has given many people the time, space and courage to really think long and hard about what they are doing. If you have found that the career you are in is not for you—know that there are other options out there.

A career in PR is a great way to use many transferable skills developed across a range of industries in a fun, creative and challenging profession.

PR of course has media relations at its heart, but so many of the skills that we look for in our top people can just as well be found in management consultants, professional services, marketing, recruitment, advertising, technology, education, public sector, business and many more careers with similar transferrable skills.
