As a recent graduate I have been eagerly on the hunt for a job in PR, competing against other candidates with real life experience. At times it seemed no one was willing to give me the essential experience required in progressing my career. However, this week I was fortunate enough for the opportunity of a work placement here at Democracy PR.

So far I have been here three days and am already beginning to understand the ins and outs of the industry which will prove invaluable to me in the future.

With a welcoming, passionate team around me, I am confident I have much more to learn about this exciting and fast passed industry.
