What could it hurt, right? Thanks for hosting this, Sam!
I'm Molly, I'm a (very) recent college grad, I'm looking for my first job out.
What I'm looking for: -An entry level position in Marketing/Advertising or Broadcast Media, or similar
-A chance to leverage my social media skills into a job that also allows me to learn more about the business I'm in.
-To be involved with a company that is creative and interesting, and that runs on good teamwork. An ideal Broadcast company would be something like Discovery Communications, National Geographic, or other communications companies that have a learning/exploring element to them. I'm also interested in Advertising companies that do a little bit of everything, rather than having a particular specialty - but I would love to be involved in a social media branch. Something like a Leo Burnett, DraftFCB, or Digitas would be aces!
-Ideally a position in Chicago, but I am happy to move for the right job!
What I'm good at: -Social media. Being fannish, this is obviously not surprising, but I've also used social media for more practical purposes, like conducting research. I'm also currently working on a start-up NFP's social media strategy on a sweat-equity basis - both in overall strategy for social media and in technical elements such as page design and integration with the main site
-Multi-tasking/organization. I just finished being a student, where I juggled a full course load, a part-time job, a gigantic independent research project, and anywhere from 2-5 student clubs and managed to get everything done on time, well, and still have time for internetting. :D
-Talking to people. I've got great oral and written communication skills! Because I am a clever bee! I'm good at listening to people, understanding what they want, and then effectively communicating that to someone else or taking action on those wants and needs myself.
-Education. I have worked both as a teaching assistant and as an intern at a large children's museum, which gives me an understanding of both conventional and non-conventional ways of educating. This experience is what I think will make me a particularly good fit for an education/exploration oriented broadcast company
I'm happy to provide a detailed resume and/or references on request! I can be reached at chanceofgrey [at] gmail [dot] com (or via PM, or response here)
