The career seach is heating up because I'm getting REALLY hungry about finding a job and took some serious steps this week towards doing so. I sent my resume to Nickelodeon for a writer position for U Pick Live, a sort of TRL for cartoon shows. A job like that would be really fun, and Nick is a part of MTVNetworks, which is where I'd like to end up. I also finally completed and burned my DJ resume CD, which includes a 90sec DJ aircheck and 6 promo spots to show off my production skills. I think I've been channeling Julie this week because I've been printing off job openings and putting them together in a binder so that I can easily compare them. I plan on sending out some stuff next week. I also need to make copies of my headshots to send out with a few applications. There are 2 jobs that I am interested in that ask to have color photos attached. I'm ok with that.
Like I said before, it kinda sucks that BC jobs need to be filled immediately, especially since I really can't start working until May. Unlike others though, I really can't bring myself to drop my responsibilities at Titan Radio and WCN to take on a full or part time job. I have worked really hard for years to prepare myself to get a job in broadcasting, but I have also worked really hard to get the leadership positions I have here at Westminster. I don't want to turn my back on those responsibilities now, especially when the people who appointed me to the positions could be valuable references in the future. Even though I have a MAJOR itch to find a job now, I'm going to enjoy the rest of my college career because, let's face it, I'm going to work for the rest of my life.
I found an article about how blogs are becoming a powerful force for companies to use. One experted is saying that media needs to "adapt or die" when it comes to the use of blogs. I think most people know what a blog is now, and they're really becoming a trend in the industry. Don't all us capstoners feel special now?!
