Like my prof Advanced Theories of the Media prof once said: Everyone graduates with the same piece of paper. So how can you stand out amongst the thousands of other people with Communication degrees? In fact, what will you even do with said Communication degree???
As the great contradiction of student jobs goes: you need experience to get the job, but how are you supposed to earn experience if you can’t get the job????
Well friends, I’m here to help. Explore this category to learn tips and tricks for finding Communication experience, both paid and unpaid, as well as ways to puff up your resume. That way, when you’ll graduate, you’ll sort of/kind of/maybe have an idea of what you’d like to do and how to get there.
Make sure to also check out the category dedicated to Co-op.
