5. PR = Corporate communications in most cases
Tue May 21, 2013, 12:23 PM
May 2013

I have applied for a lot of jobs in the communications operations of corporations.

I had a job in the non-profit sector for three years. They paid me 40% less than I had been making, treated me like crap and then eliminated my job when they had a cash crunch. Nonprofits mostly want Americorps people (who, basically, don't get paid) or entry-level people with almost no skills, but a willingness to work for next to nothing.
