Vital Vacations
May, 28, 2009 12:37 PM
I have been enjoying my time off from academia and the professional world, but I am well aware that I need to get going toward something. But times spent catching up with old friends has been actually fruitful. I am reassured that the market really is that bad. I hear about the old times and how certain moments defined my studies. I am grounded and enlightened.
A vacation may be vital to one’s career goals because it helps you reset before heading back out to the world. When you take advantage of the time, you can study up or work toward professional memberships or licenses. Again, think long term.
So while my vacation just started, I do feel the need to keep going. Always progress friends!

While I may be an official college graduate as of this past weekend, I am still in the process of trying to find a new job. I have applied to a few name brand PR agencies to no avail, but I am also trying to line other work up while I hear back from more potential employers.
The one thing I’m finding out from the whole of this experience is that persistence is key. No, that doesn’t mean constantly harassing others to gain a personal advantage. Rather, the market, especially for creative and communication professionals, is very difficult to navigate through right now. I am constantly trying to find different career paths and rethinking my strategy as a whole.

I’ve essentially set myself up such that if nothing happens by my birthday in early June, that I will have to take a part time job somewhere - ANYWHERE! Let’s hope I find something by then. As I said before, I am still in talks with different people and organizations ranging from part-time grunt work to full-time full advantages. C’mon already, I wanna work!
