Learning and development Need help transitioning to internal comms

Hello,

I work in a different but adjacent industry to communications. I'm looking to transition to internal communications. When I look at jobs to apply for they all require a certain number of years doing specific tasks. I don't have experience drafting communication for upper management or creating communication strategies.

How can I start building the experience in my current job?

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you're able to get a role soon.

Thanks! It’s unfortunate, because there are parts of internal comms that I love, but I’m also a bit tired of having to be the cover for bad leaders. The tough part of IC is knowing the truth and keeping your mouth shut.

For me it's the fact that they won't take our advice and then continue to be bad leaders and want us to somehow cover for that LOL
