Any tips for how an undergrad (i have a politics degree) could position herself as ready for financial/corp comms? Perhaps, any specific certification? I have had experience in some agencies working on corporate/finance/legal clients but it has not resulted in any interviews opportunity especially with the banks/ financial brands? What could be the issue?

Will take a lot! Thank you so much! I am based in Asia though . Love to connect btw !

Look at large multinational agencies - eg the Edelman and others of the world - and smaller specialty agencies With offices near you who have financial communications practices. It’s much easier to transition in house with agency experience from a comms standpoint.
