As a culminating course activity, this discussion will give you the opportunity to explore career opportunities in the field of communication. Even though you are just beginning your undergraduate studies in communication, it is wise to begin preparing for your career in communication now to ensure you’ll be well prepared for the job market when you graduate.
Select one communication occupation from the Occupational Outlook Handbook: Media and Communication Occupations site that interests you as a possible career. Then, briefly describe the job summary, entry-level education requirements, median pay, and job outlook for future employment and growth.
Search for job openings for your selected communication occupation and identify one current job opportunity that you are interested in as a possible career. Briefly describe the organization that is advertising the position, the important skills or education for the job being advertised, and the salary range for the position (if given)
Based on your career exploration in the communication field, reflect on the following:
What strengths do you currently possess that you think would be a good match for the communication occupation that you explored?
What are some areas of professional development that you want to focus on in your undergraduate communication studies to best prepare you for a career in communication?
What was an important “aha” moment that you learned about when exploring communication careers, or that you learned about yourself as a potential candidate for employment in this field?
Tip: For your initial post, copy and paste each question (bullet group) and type your responses underneath.
In your replies to at least two peers, use these questions to guide your responses:
What similarities or differences do you see between the results of your peers’ career exploration and the results of your own career exploration of communication occupations? Did your peers do anything differently as part of their job search that would be useful to keep in mind?
Were the “aha” moments your peers experienced during their career exploration similar or different to your own?
*Please respond to each peer individually as if you are responding to them directly
