Frank Pizzolla,
After going through and reading Appendix B , the websites that interest me the most and the ones that I know Ill visit after I graduate are the following: about.com , afi.com ( due to my passionate interest in film), tvandradiojobs.com , mediastaffingnetwork.com. Also I will definitely go out of my way to look into jobs pertaining the companys like timewarner corp. careers , cbscareers especially those of Viacom , and also nbc careers especially ones dealing with Universal Studios.
My next step after graduation is finding a job that will hopefully finance my Masters Degree , As I have been finding out through family and after reading chapter 1 that few jobs will take you with just a bachelor's . I plan to work part time with a company that hires me and go to school for my Degree at the same time. My action plan in finding this concept of my dream job will to start by researching many different companies - especially those on the websites I mentioned above. I will also look to improve my resume , by adding my current internship experience that im working on now and also maybe to look for another internship during this summer. I know that many success in this industry is achieved from who you know - and I am finding that out more so at my time at my internship company - so I plan to meet more people and gain as many contacts and phone numbers I can while Im there , so after Ill feel confident in my sources to contact if I have trouble looking for work.
After much thought and from reading chapters in , Careers in Media. I think my intrests are taking me towards Advertising/Marketing and Public Relations, Even though my passion for film is still alive and I'd love to take a job in that field if the opportunity is given. Im also starting to like the idea of becoming a creative director, overseeing copywriting, artwork , and graphics. Being a copywright also would be a cool job, in dealing with creativity aspects , and building a company's image and campaign.

Hello Interns,
Here is Blog Post #2.
In the book Careers in Media, you need to read/review the following:
1. Read Chapter 1 for an overview of the industry
2. Read the chapter related to the area in which you are most interested in working. This may or may not be connected to your current internship.
3. Throughout the book, there are Personal Profiles in which people describe how they got their job. You should read these whether they are in the chapter related to your area of interest or not. They provide helpful tips for job searching.
4. Read Appendix B: Employment websites
After doing the reading and reviewing the job search web sites, write an action plan for the next steps in your career based upon what you learned. If you are graduating, what do you need to do over the next two months in order to land a job? If you have a year or more before you graduate, what do you need to do to best position yourself to be successful when you do graduate?
Be specific. This should include everything from research you need to do on companies, to how you will improve your resume, to how you will put a plan together for networking within the industry. The more thoroughly you think about this (and then hopefully execute it), the more likely you will be to land the job you want. (You may bullet point your action plan, but the bullets should have some substance. For example, "Revise resume" is not an acceptable bullet point). If you have questions, come see me during office hours.
This blog post is due Monday, Nov. 3.
Just a reminder: You are receiving individual grades on each of your blog post questions based upon the quality of your engagement, reflection, and conversations with your peers.
