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.
I agree with your option to find a job to finance your Master's Degree. I have come to the realization that a lot of companies would rather see a masters than just a bachelors nowadays. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteFrank,
ReplyDeleteThose websites you listed above are great, they will fill your brain with more ideas of how to get become more sophisticated for this industry. I really think that you have a great head on your shoulders. I believe that attaining a masters degree can only help you in the long run and beat other competition. I believe experience is just as important as well, and your internship at Steven David Entertainment is fabulous for your resume. I admire your realism by your action plan of getting a job to pay your way through Grad school, just always plan ahead and stay confident. Keep up the motivation and if you continue to believe in yourself then anything is possible. You have the right personality for Advertising/Marketing as well as Public Relations. Keep up the great work!
I agree that a part of this business does involve who you know, so your plan to network at your internship while you're there is smart. It's great that you know what you want your next step after graduation to be and that you have a plan to execute it. Good luck!
