So you want to work in PR?

November 22nd, 2005
Author: DialogueMedia

So, I’m looking to bring on some talent to work as an intern – preferably full time – here at MWW Group on New Media projects that I’m currently handling. I figured this, along with the usual ways of attracting newcomers, would be a welcome change in the recruiting efforts, so here goes. Specifically, I’m looking for someone with knowledge of search engine functionality, blogs, podcasting, wiki, and other technologies. S/he should have general Web development knowledge, presentation/organizational skills, and should be comfortable working on multiple projects at the same time. The formal posting is below the fold. Oh, and this assignment would be to work in our East Rutherford, NJ, offices. I think this internship would be a great opportunity to do something that a candidate really enjoys, all while getting experience of working at a public relations firm.

If this is something of interest to you, please drop us an email with your resume and cover letter to hrjobs (at) mww.com.

  • Agree with Jeremy - to a point. It also sounds like the position is a click or two above "intern" on the career ladder. Maybe college + 2 years experience. At least mid-$30s in Denver, no idea in NJ.
  • As a former MWW intern, I would've loved to be involved with this stuff. I started a photoblog/journal a few months ago and am just starting to dig in deep to see what it's all about.
  • Tom
    Well, it does have those roles, but it's all about the PR, project-wise. Thanks for the tip - shall do.
  • That's not PR, that's a blogging/Web internship ;)

    You might want to hit up Robert French at Auburn, to see if any of his students are going to be up in the tri-state area. They all blog, and are all PR students, so it's the best of both worlds....
