The August Bank Holiday not only marked the end of that summer feeling for most of us, but for many students it officially heralds the end of their academic studies. But with graduate unemployment rates rising by 25 percent last year and 69 applications for every graduate job opportunity, there’s rarely been a tougher time to get your foot on the career ladder. If only we could spend another year at the SU bar, things would be so much simpler.
But fear not, it’s not all bad news! Here at JK we’re on the lookout for clever, motivated people to join our stimulating, challenging technology PR teams at account executive level. With the emphasis on working as part of a team, all executives at JK are active members of their account teams, extensively involved in client liaison and media relations tasks. Typical activities include anything from drafting press releases and planning and executing events, to developing social media strategies and proactively pursuing issues development programmes.
As an award-winning European communications consultancy that delivers brand-focused technology PR, we pride ourselves on nurturing talent from day one, with recruits receiving ongoing training and mentoring from senior management and independent business coaches. Being a mid-sized PR agency, we’re also committed to a culture that encourages and rewards initiative, creativity and good old hard work, scooping the Holmes Report’s ‘Best Multinational Specialist Firm to Work For’ back in May for the second year running.
In broader terms, the UK PR industry is the most developed in Europe – second only to the US globally – and with a growth rate at all levels of PR that is higher than that of any management function over the last 15 years, simply put, the sector is flourishing!
So, if you think you fit the bill, have a keen interest in all things technology and are interested in developing your PR skills further, send your CV and covering letter to: [email protected] or DM us @JohnsonKingPR.
