The real world is a scary place, and the
stress and anxiety that goes with finding an “adult” job is something that looms over students on a regular basis. Those exact fears are what lead me to enrolling into
the Post Grad PR program at Mohawk College.
I had graduated college with a diploma in broadcast journalism,
completed some pretty awesome internships and was/ currently am still working
in the industry part time. Unfortunately the part time job just isn't cutting
it, a realization I’m sure most of my classmates are dealing with as well. Going
back to school was a scary thought but a necessary one. Since being in class
some of those fears have been squashed thanks to the clarification that public
relations is the fattest growing industry at the moment. Phew the hope of
finding a job might be more promising then I had thought. Not to mention
everything that we are learning in class is very applicable to the real world
made evident by everyone who is currently completing their internships. It’s very encouraging to know that what we
learn in the classroom are the same techniques we will be using alongside our
future coworkers. This realization has made me more confident and less stressed
knowing that when we graduate, we will be prepared to competitively compete for
jobs in the industry.
I’m sure as we start second semester we will only gain more confidence for potential job and internship interviews. The thought of interviews provide me with a lot of stress, that fact that so much is on the line in such a short period of time makes me really nervous. An interview could lead to your internship that could lead to your first job, which gets your foot in the door! I know I’m getting ahead of myself and I know that Tim our professor will prepare us to the best of his ability to make sure we have the skills to get that first internship/job. Relieving another factor of stress that us students have when graduating the program and are released into the real world. For now i think we all just need to take a deep breath, find our inner zen and just be confident students
