Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits
After earning a bachelor's degree, beginning public relations professionals typically receive on-the-job training that may continue for a year or longer before moving into the role of writing press releases, speeches, news or magazine articles, planning programs, and other duties. Most corporate communications directors have a minimum of five years' experience before moving into that role.
