Entry-Level Positions For Aspiring Communications Professionals
Entry-level communications roles for undergraduates include internships and, post-graduation, "communications associate or communications assistant positions," though a Communication Strategist role like Apoorvaa's typically requires experience. However, a strong portfolio and passion can allow applicants to aim higher, with Apoorvaa advising, "the sky's the limit. Just apply for as many jobs as you can and see what you get."

What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
Within college, there are many internships you can do. As you get out of college and look for jobs, positions like communications associate or communication assistant are really good ones.
My current position as a communication strategist did require certain years of experience. I do think that could work as a second job.
But don't sell yourself short. If you've done the internships, done the work, have a solid portfolio, a great education, and passion, the sky's the limit. Just apply for as many jobs as you can and see what you get.
