- What is the practice of Public Relations all about?
- What is the practice of Corporate Communications all about?
- What are the typical activities that a Trainee does in the 1st year of work in a Public Relations firm?
- What skills are required to be a successful P.R. Executive in a Public Relations company and career?
Also in the write-up, the aspiring candidate would have to quote who they interacted with, in the agency to seek such information. (Mention Name, Cell number, E-mail ID and attach a visiting card of the person the candidate met)
