Are you someone who is interested in the field of public relations? If so, what is your focus? Are you seeking to land a career doing it or are you looking for representation? There are a variety of aspects involved. You will learn something about the different types of public relations interviews.
First: There is the job interview. This is something you will have to go through if you want to work in the field. As with any other career industry, you will have to prepare. One thing you can do is take courses in college that pertain to this area. You can also benefit from taking a good, relevant internship - this is vital because employers are increasingly demanding that job applicants have related experience.
It is also crucial to develop experience and skills that can help prepare you. One thing you need to do is work on a good PR project through your university. Another thing you can do is develop your public speaking, communications, copywriting and graphic design skills.
Second: People have to be interviewed to take on a position at the executive level. If you are looking for someone to come in at an advanced level of the organization, you must find someone who has plenty of direct experience.
Third: Corporations must be interviewed for their side of a story. For example, if a particular firm is receiving bad publicity on an issue, it is important to talk with the people running it to see what they have to say about their decisions and their involvement in various matters.
Fourth: If you are working on a campaign to increase awareness for a company, you will have to learn things about them first. The way to do this is to talk with someone who works there to learn the organization's history, mission, goals and other things. After I talked with someone who worked at The United Way of Greater St. Louis to get this information for a class project, I worked on a campaign to help them increase outreach in the black community.
Fifth: A person wanting to work in this field might have to interview for an internship. When I unsuccessfully applied for one, I took a writing test. One thing that hurt me was I did not know how to use the Internet at the time.
Sixth: There is a need for agents to help do an image makeover. Based on what I see in the news, they can be used to put a spin on issues or help people such as athletes and executives repair their images through interviews or press conferences.
