Well, my friends, it's time for our last class. It has been an honor to work with you this semester and you can be certain that this rookie professor learned just as much as he taught. I have thoroughly enjoyed our multimedia explorations, guest speakers and class discussions. You all should be proud of what you accomplished this semester. There were no slackers. Everyone worked hard, wrestling with technology to tell stories in new, exciting ways. Please send me links to your future projects. I know they are going to be great.
By popular demand we'll focus our last class on job hunting. The UNH Journalism program has compiled an excellent list of links. Here are three to get you started:
Top Ten Job-hunting Tips from the UNH Journalism Faculty
Links for job hunters
UNH Alumni Roster
The Alumni Roster will be part of our discussion on networking both in person and online.
There are some amazing tools for professional networking online. The best appears to be LinkedIn.
This page will introduce you to some of the tools LinkedIn offers for job hunters. But the site also offers an array of networking and professional development tools.
Here is an article from Folio magazine that describes how one journalist was discovered and hired through his blog. The reporter, Ryan Sholin, went on to help create Wiredjournalists.com, a professional networking site for online journalists. And, to complete the circle, here is a link to a forum on the site where journalists can seek jobs and news managers can hire.
