PR Candidates

When you have a career you love or are just starting out, making progress and climbing the ladder are key components to feeling happy and fulfilled however, making that next step in your PR career can sometimes be a daunting prospect.

At Media Recruitment we fully understand the importance of making the right choice and being in the right environment. We think it’s extremely useful to fully understand who you are and more importantly what you want and being ex-PRs ourselves, we have an innate understanding of the PR industry.

We won’t try and push you into an unsuitable role, we will do our very best to give you the right kind of advice and guidance, present you with opportunities that suit your skill set and experience and most important of all, it’s all in the strictest confidence. We will never, ever send your CV out to a client without your prior consent, it still baffles us that some agencies do this!

We have long relationships with so many of our candidates because they know we will give honest, reliable advice and this is why so many of our candidates eventually become our clients.

For us to help you, here’s what we ask in return:
  • When you contact us about a role, send us your CV + salary expectation.
  • Take the time to meet us in person, this is a crucial stage of the process, we will take the time to discuss your hopes, fears etc and if your CV needs a helping hand, we will make it look foolproof. It also allows us the time to discuss any relevant opportunities that suit your skill set.
  • Bring your portfolio, if you don’t have one, now is the time to start preparing one; it really does strengthen your hand in the interview process.
  • Keep us up to date with your job search, this will ensure that we don’t cross over with opportunities. You can call us anytime, we like hearing from you, this is how relationships are built.

When get you an interview, we will provide you with all the interview information, where you’re going, who you’re meeting etc and whenever possible, we will have already provided you with a job brief given to us by the client but for your part, it is crucial you do the following:
  • Prepare before hand, do as much research on the company and clients as possible, if you don’t, trust us, you will falter. 
  • Make sure you look the part, first impressions are all important and if you make the effort, you will feel confident.
  • Always arrive in plenty of time, being late does not set a good first impression, if for any reason it is unavoidable either call us or the client explaining your situation.
  • Take your portfolio with you, it will show your capabilities and achievements.
  • After that, it’s up to you but at Media Recruitment we will do all we can to prepare you for what could be the biggest step you’ll make in your career.
