Focus on building a portfolio that shows real work: press releases, social media campaigns, internal newsletters, or volunteer communications projects. Employers at this level look for clear writing samples, familiarity with content scheduling tools, and any internship or campus media experience. Tailoring your application to each employer's voice and industry gives you a concrete edge over candidates who submit generic materials.

Yes, though availability varies by employer and industry. About 33% of entry level communications lead openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, making it one of the more flexible fields for new candidates. Many remote roles still expect you to attend occasional team meetings or on-site events, so check each listing for specifics.
Are these new grad communications lead jobs?
Yes, many of these listings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or student media work toward qualifications, and values a strong portfolio over a lengthy resume. Look for language like "recent graduate welcome" or "entry level considered" in the job description.
