Some people (my manager) think that just because they are outgoing and relate to people well, they can be qualified to do corp comms. Can't be further away from the truth if a corp comms manager fails to realise that he has to come up with a internal and external communications plan. Better still, the work that solely belongs to corp comms ended up being taken away from us and be given to other department because manager wants to maintain harmony
Hey thanks for the advice! Perhaps I can pursue a part time comms degree in the future to upgrade myself. Are you currently working in public sector comms? What is an average day like?
