After last weeks assignment I feel a little more confident
about getting a job after achieving my Media Communications degree. With the
work I am currently doing in the navy and the training I am receiving with Full
Sail University I will have a lot of the professional and technical skills
desired by the employers I will be looking at.
I currently do some video editing and processing in my Navy
job. I have produced videos for service members to send home to their families.
I have documented major events such as Change of Commands, Retirements, and
re-enlistments. I have worked mostly on Apple products and software including:
Final Cut, Photoshop, Director, Garageband and a few others. The military has
also prepared me for working in small groups or on my own with precise
instructions and little oversight.
So far at Full Sail I have gotten a lot of reinforcement
training on the programs I know and have learned some of the finer in depth
tools. I have gotten to know more of the Google suite and how powerful of a
tool that can be for collaborating long distance on group projects.
In the job postings I looked at there were minimum
experience requirements from 2-5 years. I think between my media heavy position
in the Navy and the experiences I’m gaining here at Full Sail I will be able to
meet that. I could absolutely use more experience with the finer details of all
of the applications of the trade, but I feel the further we get into the Media
Communications program the more we will get hands on experience. I would like
to work more on developing and pitching an idea. We got to work on this a bit
in Technical Writing but I could be it being a big part of any job process.
