Public Relations Career Test

Public relations is one of those careers that looks simple from the outside; writing press releases, organizing events, managing social media, but the reality is far more varied and demanding than that. One PR professional might spend their day managing a crisis that is threatening to destroy a company’s reputation, another is advising a government minister on how to communicate a controversial policy, and another is building the personal brand of a rising celebrity.

From the halls of government to the launch of a new product, PR is the discipline that shapes how the world sees people, organizations, and ideas. A couple of minutes is all it takes to find out which corner of it suits you.
