Dear Employers

PICK ME!

I am the candidate that you have been looking for! I am months away from graduating from Minnesota State University Mankato with a degree in Public Relations. I strongly believe that MSU has provided me with the tools to become a successful Public Relations professional. Recently we have been learning about the importance of social media and the impact it has on our world today. I have been learning about blogs and Twitter and other outlets that will be vital tools to any organization. I am also knowledgeable with programs such as Indesign, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and other computer programs. There are many products and services I can provide using these programs. I can make fliers, brochures, newsletters, web design and much more.

My drive and passion to be a successful professional is endless. I am excited to get started and put all of my valuable knowledge to use right away. I must mention that I also have a degree in Radio Broadcasting from Brown College in Mendota Heights Minnesota. Radio has always been a passion of mine and I know the communication skills I learned there were very important. I am about to start my internship at KEYC T.V. which is the local television station here in Mankato.

Please consider me an applicant for your open position within your company.

After College

This is my first time blogging and I am not quite sure how this all works but here goes.....I am a student at Minnesota State University Mankato, I am pursuing a degree in Mass Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations and a minor in Speech Communication. I am about to graduate in December of this year but I must admit I am a little nervous. Where do I go from here? I know the possibilities can be endless and that this is really the start of my life but how do I get started? MSU has given me the tools I need to start a career in PR and I am confident in my skills but I still have some questions. I want to know, who are some good people to contact for job oppurtunities? I recently created a twitter account (follow me adamw23) and that has been helpful for the most part but I still do not know much about it. I know I want to do something in sports, preferably with the Minnesota Vikings but I am not too sure how to break into the business.
I also have a degree in Radio Broadcasting from Brown College and I am hoping that will help me in finding a job. This summer I will begin my internship with KEYC T.V. which is the local Television station here in Mankato. I am excited to get started with them because I will learn how to shoot and edit video,write stories,update web material and much more. One of my assignments will be to work with the sports department at Vikings training camp! I am hoping that this might be a way into the organization who knows?
I guess what I am trying to say with all of this is where do I go from here? As I mentioned I will have a degree in PR, a minor in speech, a degree in Radio Broadcasting and a completed internship in T.V. Sounds confusing I know! I am all over the board and it seems like I have no clue what I want to end up doing in the long run but whatever it is I want to make sure it is my passion and my dream!
If anyone reading this has any suggestions about pursuing a career after college or who to contact or any info about job applications or resumes let me know! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
