Rain, Rain, Go Away!

I don't know about you, but I hate this rain! Maybe it's because I don't own a raincoat or rain boots...two things I really should invest in. I think one of my goals for Easter break will be to purchase at least one of these things. My other goals, however, are much more related to this blog and my quest to find a job. Things have been super busy these last few weeks, but I'm hoping over the holiday I will finally have some time to do some more research and look into potential job opportunities that I simply have not had a minute to look into lately. I will admit, part of me worries a little bit that I may have missed out on some chances, but I calm myself down by realizing that I have been doing my best to take advantage of all of the opportunities that have come my way. There are simply just not enough hours in the day! During Easter break I plan to use GoNova and other resources at my disposal to look for more job opportunities out there. I also have a few contacts I have acquired through networking and my role as an intern in the Clay Center that I would like to reach out to as soon as possible.




Wondering about the interview I had last week? I think that it went pretty well. To be honest I don't want to jinx anything, so we'll just have to wait and see! I should be hearing back in the next week or so :-)



Next, I am excited for an event that is coming up the week we get back to campus. On April 6th and 8th, the Philly Ad Club is hosting two events at Cabrini and Temple. The event is titled "Careers in Advertising & Communications: Where the Jobs Are!" Clearly this sounds like exactly the type of thing a person in my shoes should attend! It is basically the same event presented twice, once at Cabrini and then a second time at Temple. I will likely go to the first event at Cabrini. The flyer for the event discusses the opportunity to hear from a panel of advertising and communications professions, from advertising agencies, media buying firms, PR firms, and media companies. There is also an opportunity to network with these professionals after the panel discussion. I believe this is an incredible opportunity and an event I definitely need to take advantage of - in fact, it's simply one I cannot afford to miss! The flyer also states that students are welcome to bring copies of their resumes, so this is something I will make sure to do as well. I am very happy that an event like this is available to Philly-area college students in general, not just from one single university. I'm looking forward to April 6th, and will let you know how the event goes! Until next time - Happy Easter!!
