Making the Most of Your College Experiences: A Guide for Communication Majors - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Acknowledging that the broad nature of the communication discipline can make it difficult for students to identify and articulate what they want to do after graduation, Making the Most of Your College Experiences: A Guide for Communication Majors equips students with the tools they need to better understand themselves, capitalize upon their educational experiences, and clearly define their career goals. The book shows readers how the communication concepts and practices, transferable skills, and power skills they learn in the classroom can serve as tools to help them chart and build their careers.

The text is organized into three parts, focusing on the student’s self of sense, the communication industry, and the career. Readers learn about the importance of developing a personal brand, the many careers available in communication, how to develop SMARTE goals, how to find and prepare for an internship, and more. In each chapter, a communication spotlight focuses on a relevant theory, practice, or concept-such as cognitive scripts, the elaboration likelihood model, organizational systems theory, and impression management-as they relate to career readiness and job acquistion.

Developed to help students become more confident communication majors and professionals, Making the Most of Your College Experiences is the ideal resource for any introduction to communication course, career preparation course, internship courses, or portfolio course. The book is also a perfect addition to academic advising.
