Tips for Your Public Relations Intern Job Search
Tailor your resume to PR deliverables
Replace vague phrases like 'assisted with communications' with specific outputs: press releases drafted, media placements secured, or pitches sent. Hiring managers for public relations intern roles scan for tangible work samples, not just responsibilities.
Build a writing portfolio before applying
Public relations intern candidates without professional clips can create them. Write sample press releases or pitch letters for a local nonprofit or student organization, then host them on a personal site or shared doc you link in applications.
Target agencies that match your industry interest
PR agencies specialize in verticals like entertainment, healthcare, or consumer brands. Applying to agencies whose client roster aligns with your background makes your cover letter easier to write and your candidacy more credible to the reviewer.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists public relations intern openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare media-specific interview answers
Expect questions about how you'd pitch a story and which outlets you'd target for a given client. Practice naming real journalists or beat reporters in your area of interest so your answers demonstrate genuine knowledge of the media landscape.
Follow up with a media-worthy subject line
Your post-interview thank-you note is itself a writing sample. Keep it to three sentences, reference one specific moment from the conversation, and write the subject line as if it were a pitch, concise and specific enough to earn a click.
Public Relations Intern Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most public relations interns?
The most active employers for public relations interns right now are Power Digital Marketing, Greenleaf Hospitality, and VSC, and the most openings are in Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Agency-side roles tend to cluster in major media markets, while corporate communications internships are more geographically distributed.
How many public relations intern jobs are remote?
About 43% of public relations intern openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, though availability shifts with hiring cycles. Social media, content writing, and media monitoring tasks are the most likely to be offered remotely, while event coordination and in-person media relations work typically require an on-site presence.
How do you become a public relations intern?
Start by enrolling in or completing coursework in communications, journalism, or a related field, then build writing samples through student media, class projects, or volunteer work. Develop a short portfolio of press releases or pitches, create profiles on professional networking sites, and apply directly to openings at agencies, nonprofits, and corporate communications teams whose work interests you.
Can I get a public relations intern job with little or no experience?
Yes, most public relations intern roles are designed for candidates still building experience. Employers in this space prioritize strong writing samples and demonstrated curiosity about media over a formal work history. Student newspaper bylines, social media projects for campus organizations, and self-initiated pitch letters to local outlets all count as relevant experience when you have no agency or corporate background yet.
What does the public relations intern interview process look like?
Most public relations intern interviews involve a phone or video screen with an HR contact, followed by a second conversation with a communications manager or team lead. Expect a writing test or take-home assignment asking you to draft a press release or media pitch. Some agencies add a final round where you present your sample and discuss how you would approach a real client scenario.
Where can I find and apply to public relations intern jobs?
