Graduation looms large and that means I will no longer be your friendly neighboorhood graduate student. There are rumors of my full-time employment swirling around and I can tell you that I am the first one to hope they are true. With that being said, I want to impart a few last pieces of graduate student wisdom.
There's tons to do in and around Philly and the easiest way to find out about the latest happenings is by signing up for e-newsletters from philly2night.com and socialphilly.com. Philly2night tends to be strictly social opps, while socialphilly.com has some young professional and networking opportunities. Both offer a little something for everyone. Cover charges are often waived if you get on the guest list for events listed on these sites, and we all know graduate students love to save dollars, so check them out.
For those of you interested in more media related events, phillyadclub.com is the website of Philly Ad Club, a social/professional networking club. Check it out for the latest in creative networking opportunities (psst...they also have a job listings link).
Continuing on the job front, mediabistro.com is a must-know site for those looking for jobs in the writing/editing/publishing/communications industry. It is very user-friendly and allows you to search for positions by region, category, etc. Definitely beats monster.com.
Philly's job industry has been labeled "meds and eds" by the Inquirer in the past and I couldn't agree more with this description. Higheredjobs.com has tons of higher education jobs listed all over the country, with hundreds in Pennsylvania. Their listings include everything from coaching to teaching to administration at all experience levels.
Philly.com, the host site of the inquirer, also has a jobs listing section that partners with Monster.com. I've found Monster to be intimidating in the past, but taking 10 minutes to register with them and providing some info about what types of jobs you're looking for really helps to narrow things down.
That being said, if you're a Penn student, come check out the Campus Philly table at PennFest on May 3rd. This is the last event I will be attending as a representative of CP, and I hope to see all you Penn people there.
To everyone, this has been a great year for me and I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors as a student and beyond.
Cheers,
Clare
