So why do you want to work in PR?

This question will always come up at interview. Those with first-hand experience of working in an agency or in-house department will, without a doubt stand out from the crowd.

This is why, over the past three years we have given more than twenty students and graduates work experience at Apples & Pears Marketing. Many of them have gone on to great jobs – some of them here!

Here’s what they have to say about their experience with us…

“It gave me a real insight into how the PR industry works, it's role within the media, and especially it's close relationship with journalism. During my time at Apples and Pears I learnt skills which have proved extremely useful including writing press releases and the development of my telephone skills”
Felicity Carter now at The Guardian Unlimited

"Whilst at University at Nottingham Trent, I worked at Apples & Pears. Its a great PR firm with a small team so you can get really stuck in and get involved in lots of different projects. I really enjoyed it and it definitely helped me decide what I wanted to do and ultimately get some experience for my job now."
Lisa Callison now at GCap Media

“Within one month I had travelled to London and met national journalists, helped out at a photo shoot, written a press release, conducted local press call rounds and got an insight into how new business pitches are put together. I learnt a great deal about the PR industry and was given the chance to learn new skills which set me in good stead for the world of work.”
