Hi Austin – I would try to fine ways to stand out with your potential employers. For example, I write this blog and even posted about the internship process and put a brownie point question in. Only one person took the time to find the answer – and she stood out in my mind and was asked to move to the next step!

Do your research on the company, come up with suggestions for how they can improve, if you’re asked to do any kind of assignment go above and beyond to show how you are different. If you’re looking for an internship with a PR company why not research some of their most recent PR campaigns and then go to various blogs / forums and talk about it (in a positive way obviously) – then you have something to talk about when you go for the interview. You’ll definitely leave a lasting impression!

Hope that helps – Good luck!

Hey Evan,
I enjoyed reading your thoughts, but being a college-student looking for internships, I was wondering if you could offer some directed advice for people in my position. I’ve been searching for a couple of months for PR internships, and I could use all the advice I can get in standing out from everyone else trying to get the same positions I am after.

Thanks!

Everyone is well-spoken, well-dressed and well-mannered at the interview, so it can be hard to tell what kind of person you’re really getting. A quick google search can air a candidate’s dirty laundry.

If you’re an applicant, clean up your online image!
