Newhouse School of Communications
Services:
FRESHMEN Explore communications fields by getting involved in campus media. Make plans to attend "Finding an Internship" and/or "Basic Resume/Letter Writing" seminars to get an understanding of the process.
SOPHOMORES Attend "Finding an Internship" and "Basic Resume/Letter Writing" seminars. Start compiling summer internship possibilities (you'll be eligible for credit at the end of the academic year.) Read industry trade magazines available in the CDC.
JUNIORS This is your prime internship year. Attend "Finding an Internship" and "Basic Resume/Letter Writing" seminars, if you haven't already. Secure an internship for the academic year or for the summer. If going abroad, start your search well BEFORE you leave the U.S.! It is extremely difficult to conduct your search while away.
SENIORS Attend a "Job Hunt Marathon" (the earlier the better). Begin to focus your interests and create a target list of companies. Plan on networking over breaks. Resumes/letters for the April Communications Consortium are due in late February. Attend the "Interview Etiquette" seminar and, of course, read those trade magazines.
GRADUATE STUDENTS Get moving quickly! Attend a "Job Hunt Marathon" and "Basic Resume/Letter Writing" seminar. AND attend "Finding an Internship" if your program requires an internship. Begin to focus your interests and create a target list of companies. Plan on networking over breaks. Resumes/letters for April's Communications Consortium are due in late February. Attend an "Interview Etiquette" seminar, and read those trade magazines.
