Howdja get that job?!
Now, I am all about shelling out money for grad school just as much as the next guy, but at the end of the day - I think it helps to look at where this is all going. In some respects, it all surmounts to one big savvy career move, hopefully helping us further reach our professional goal that we will one day land our fulfilling, enriching, all-important DREAM JOB.
So - I am curious - have any of y'all out there found that your experience with Annenberg has lead to you scoring a position that you don't think you would have gotten otherwise? If not, what resources do you feel have helped you toward getting better career footing? What's worked for you?
Personally, I have not landed said perfect dream job just yet, but I thought I'd share my story the method that helped me score a more fulfilling positon.
I was very surprised last spring (before starting school) at getting the position via an unlikely resource: posting my resume on Monster. I wasn't even looking, I just realized that I hadn't reposted it on there since I graduated college (in 2001, ahem). So I did and it was crazy! Recruiters calling, all sorts of leads. (Mind you, its not like I have scads of experience or anything, just a few years in project management and graphic design). I guess that's where they go to first (my cousin who is a recruiter confimed this). Perhaps it is an obvious step in job-hunting, but for some reason I had overlooked for a long time. Anyway, it worked! So that would be my resource I recommend, posting your resume, even if your not looking...right now.
