Looking for a job? Tips on updating your "new media" skills? An opportunity for professional networking? A chance to help Drake journalism students launch their own careers?
The J-School's Jr. National Advisory Council is excited to announce
www.DrakeMediaGigs.Wordpress.com - a forum where we'll be posting career opportunities submitted by members of the Drake alumni family and of the professional media community.
We realized the need for such a site after discussing the frustrations of both job seekers and alumni with job opportunities. It's clear that Drake professionals are out there looking for talented people to hire - both for internships and full-time positions - but don't have an easy way to announce the openings to the Drake journalism community specifically.
We hope to meet that need.
In addition, we will use the site to post job-hunting tips and links to media career resources, as well as information about job fairs, skills workshops and other tools you can use to jump-start your professional lives.
For example, the SJMC is currently planning a series of workshops on campus this spring, aimed both at graduating seniors and area professionals seeking to ensure they have the skills necessary to compete in this challenging media environment.
If you're interested in hearing about these opportunities, simply sign up to receive updates via e-mail by clicking here.
Or via RSS updates by clicking here.
It's all free and we won't use your e-mail for any purpose other than to send you updates.
And remember that we're just getting started, so please be patient while we get the word out and work out any kinks as we get the site off the ground. We're also open to ideas, questions and suggestions - submit those to drakemediagigs@gmail.com.
