PR jobs are highly competitive and most require a bachelor's degree. Try the obvious job listing sites like careerbuilder.com, monster.com, etc. But be careful as many pyramid scams will post their job as PR, but in all actuality it is door-to-door sales. Do your research about the company. If your gut tells you that somethings not right about the company, then fore go the interview. Some companies might be willing to hire you with an associates degree if you said that you were willing to continue your studies and get a bachelor's degree while working there...so be prepared to say this if need be. You should really consider this option anyways for the betterment of your career. Best wishes!

Go to the web site of the Jersey Shore Public Relations and Advertising Association, I think it is www.jspraa.org, and see the jobs posted or go to www.worknj.com.

well, there's PR for large corporations, there's PR for government agencies, like environmental groups.
i would try to think of places like that in your area, which i'm not familiar with unfortunately, and start sending resumes.
also, there are PR firms out there, but i don't know if they are in your area either.
have you tried searching on the net like careerbuilder, etc.???
good luck.
plus, ask some of your PR professors in school. they may have some tips for you.
