So now that I am in my final year of school and have pretty much narrowed down what my career will be, I am in the process of searching for jobs. Now, I know I’m not officially done school until May, at the end of my internship, but it’s exciting to look. Mainly I just go to the CPRS and IABC website to look. They always have great jobs up all over the place. But it seems like evertime I look at these job posts, everyone wants someone with 5-10 years experience! I’ve seen some that only want 3-5 years, but what about us entry-level people?! Are we not allowed to apply for these jobs, or is there some secret rule that we could because we might actually get the job? I don’t know. I guess I will just have to apply and pray. However, I must say that the upper-level jobs that do require experience pay great money. So it’s only a matter of time before I could be working one of those jobs!!
Internships January 21, 2008
So I’ve been looking for internships for my PR program and our teacher just put up a bunch on the website. I’m not really interested in those ones, I’m waiting for an agency that has a good location since I have to commute by train, and I don’t feel like taking a bus or subway or streetcar after the train ride. So I’m really hoping my first few choices contact my teacher soon so I can get a move on an interview. I can’t wait but I’m sooo nervous. Good thing I’m going to the Dominican next month for a nice relaxing vacation!!
Blogs January 14, 2008
So I just joined this network for a course I have, online PR. I have never before been interested in blogs let alone know how they work. But, as I learn more, it seems kind of interesting that anyone in the world can see my thoughts and comment on them, and then other people can comment on those, like an ongoing chain. I’m not really into the whole online thing. I have facebook and I use MSN, but that’s about it. No blogging, making websites, etc. But I guess if I’m going to be a PR grad in about 4 months I better get used to these things!
