Week 1 Exploration: Job Listings

For this assignment we looked through some Job Listings to find a few that spoke to us. This is an important part of the Job Hunting process because the jobs won’t find me. It is important to know what to look for and how to navigate these search engines. There are a lot of jobs to sift through to find the ones I am suited for and that I want to do.

 Digital Project Manager

-         - This job with JStokes looks like it would be an enjoyable work environment. It deals with digital marketing and is looking to create new methods of using technology for marketing.

-        -  It is right in line with my professional aspirations to lead a team in creating something new regularly. It looks like it would include writing as well as production.

-        -  I have a lot of experience as a leader and motivator, and I would bring a lot to the table in the creativity department. I like using multiple forms of media for advertising.

Field-Based Regional Recruiter

-         - I looked at this one based a lot on location. It would require some advertising skills and public relations, but it looks like a good deal of it is one on one screenings. I think the creative side of it would be fun.

-          -It is a little bit of a stretch professionally, for a great location. I could see taking a job like this to get to the right location and moving into something more suited for what I want to do.

-          -The creative side of the job is where I would thrive. Creating advertisements and event to get people interested in talking about the opportunities. I think the organization does a lot of good so selling it would be the easy part.

F/T Video Journalist

-         - I like this on the most because it is exactly what I want to be doing. Writing and producing my own news stories. It also mentions ad-hoc for other producers. It would be a great way to work solo but still be a part of a bigger team.

-          -This is what I want to do for my career. I love working with video (shooting and editing) and I like telling stories. This is a great way to combine the two.

-          -I am eager to get out there and catch the stories. I am great working on my own or as part of a team. I am always ready to help others with their projects. Although I don’t know Mandarin now I would be willing to learn as I go.
