With only about 2 months left of my college career [phew i said it] I feel like there is an infinite open path ahead of me and it is completely up to me to paint it. In my ideal world I would jetset to Europe and travel the world for a year, but unfortunately this is not my ideal world. Although I have always said I am really independent and love new journeys, lately I feel like a scared little puppy who has been left alone. I don’t know what exactly I wanna do, let alone where I wanna do it…
I’ve been working so hard for these past 4 years, to what I always thought was to get a career. But now even with 8 semesters, 5 months abroad in Australia, nearly 40 courses, and thousands of dollars of debt student loans, I still feel like I don’t know which direction to go in next…I love my courses and am still confident in my major, Advertising, but I don’t necessarily want to follow all my classmates direction in working at an agency. Not only that, I don’t even know where to begin when searching for jobs, let alone applying. Of course you can go on a companies website and do the whole click on “careers” tab and email whoever@jobs or whoever@hr…but as I’m sure you all have to, I’ve learned quickly that will get you NO WHERE!
So now I’ve come to realize I need to take this situation into my own hands. Anytime I ask anyone successful about how to get on the right track all i hear is “connections, networking, connections, networking…blah blah blah!” I’ve never really been one to be aggressive when it comes to contacting people, but I have definitely come to realize I know need to. I am going to make a contact list of anyone who I could think would possibly be able to help me out…
welcome to my journey of job hunting…be back soon, hopefully with a little more good news….!
