This week I went to a communications expo. It was the first one to be held for just journalism students at Oklahoma State University. Usually we have to go to the one that is for everyone and end up trying to make ourselves look impressive to engineering and marketing employers. Obviously it doesn’t always work in our favor. I went to one earlier in the semester and it was a waste of time. So when this expo came about I was excited. Now I could really network to employers who needed my skills. Well another disappointment because most of them were looking for interns and unpaid at that. I am graduating in just a couple months (yes I am panicked) and I need a job where I can pay rent. I was able to talk to some great non-profit organizations (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Make-A-Wish Foundation) and that was fantastic. I would love to start out in non-profit so their advice was very beneficial. All and all I am glad I went to this networking event but I am still wondering if it made any bit of difference… guess only time will tell.
Networking for the future…
