Yesterday, after a visit to one of my classes by someone from the College of Communication's Career Services Center I made an account on their website, subscribed to their blog, and am feeling really good about all the opportunities I'm seeing.
I STILL need to work on my resume, but after multiple sleepless nights to finish my campaigns project in the past week, and more to come to prepare for a test tomorrow and presentation on Monday, I'm still not really seeing a point when I'll have time to do it. I suppose I could be doing it now, but I'm reading for my test tomorrow. And updating this blog is going to take a lot less time then finishing my resume. As soon as I post it on the Career Services site someone from their office will take a look at it and give me any suggestions on help it may need. My feelings about all this right now are nothing short of amazement. When I was a Liberal Arts major I was signed up for their career services and honestly, felt it was lacking. Come to find out, communications has it figured out -- as they should (it would be really embarrassing for the Communications school to be bad at communicating).
The next big event in the job search is the Job and Internship Fair on October 27th. I have a really good feeling about it. I think I'll find a lot of really interesting opportunities and be able to impress the company reps. I am so excited.
A recently posted job listing I saw is for the company who does online strategy for Gap and Banana Republic, which I feel like I could really have an 'in' for.
I also really like the options they have for on campus interviews. Companies have access to profiles on the career services site and can pick out the students they think look most promising for an interview.
I'm making the resume a priority. It WILL be done by Friday the 15th, after the presentation for my project and the test are behind me. I'm hoping there will be at least a few days lull before the second campaigns projects is in full swing to get it done.
Wish me luck & think good job thoughts!
