Capital One
Communications Manager
I help tell our company's story through media.
No two days are alike - but in any given day I might be working with a reporter on a story they are writing that features Capital One or pitching them story ideas; creating a PR campaign for one of our products or initiatives; or developing messaging documents and strategy on ways we can raise the positive public reputation of our company.

Get internships in public relations or communications -- even if you aren't majoring in that field, so many backgrounds can lead to PR, so it would be good to try it out for a few months to see if you're interested in the work.
