Here’s the FULL LIST of PUBLIC RELATIONS (PR) INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to work in PR?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am very hard working, passionate about PR, enthusiastic and totally team-focused in everything I do. My passion for public relations started many years ago, when a friend asked me to help her market a new business she was starting. I quickly realized I had a passion and a skill for public relations, and it was then that I decided to gain some relevant qualifications and experience in the industry, to enable me to pursue a career that I very much love. I want to work in PR because the skills and qualities I have are a perfect match for the position. I am an outstanding communicator, I can work on my own initiative, I can prioritize tasks and plan effectively, and I have a natural creative side that means I will always create the most effective PR campaigns that are guaranteed to get results. Finally, I am a positive person who thrives working in a pressurized environment, and if you hire me for the PR position today, I feel confident you will start to see a positive return on your investment quickly.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for us?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“For the simple reason that, in order to be good at public relations, you have to not only set very high standards in the work you undertake, but you must also be one step ahead of your competitors. During my research into your company, it quickly became obvious that you hire some very intelligent people, you have a large base of impressive clients, and you also consistently achieve great results from a public relations perspective. I have high standards too, and I only want to work for an organization that wants to grow, develop and also provide the best possible service at all times.”
