The first step in this experience is getting the job! There are lots of opportunities in NY, but my recommendation is to look for an internship at a PR agency. Many of these companies offer very structured programs that allow you to test your skills in a variety of areas. I spent my summer at Porter Novelli, International.

There are three steps to finding a great job:

• Step 1: Do your Research
• Step 2: Resumes and Cover letters
• Step 3: Interview and Follow-up
