The Great Job Hunt 2008 Continues

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Since my last update about my job hunt, I have applied to about 10 different web design, development, branding, marketing, or software companies. I’ve yet to hear back from any, which does nothing to settle my nerves, but I’m hopeful. Every job that I have applied for sounds amazing. The thought that I’ll soon start my career is really exciting. Every day at school is starting to get longer and longer as I’m reading about what I could be doing in a few short months.

I am hoping to hear back from some companies within the next few weeks and I’ll be following up as well. I’m quite anxious about figuring out where I’ll be headed after graduation on May 3rd. I realize that it’s probably difficult for a small company to look that far down the road about hiring someone new, but I’m still concerned about not hearing anything yet.

For those of you that have been through this process of landing your first post-graduation job, how difficult was it? Any tips or suggestions for me to market myself better? If you’re working on your own job hunt, how is it going? I’m all for hearing any advice anyone has to offer. Just to throw it out there: anyone looking for a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed web designer, fresh out of school?

MACRoCk 2008

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

The Mid-Atlantic College Radio Conference may be the reason I’m in Harrisonburg today. I attended the conference in the spring of 2004 and it opened my eyes to the beauty of a bunch of sweaty kids playing music to a bunch of other sweaty kids in a basement (or living room.) I just completed an overhaul of the MACRoCk website and we’re launching tomorrow morning. Just wanted to give a quick plug to my design and to a great music conference that I’m proud to be a part of.

UPDATE: The results from the launch day of the MACRoCk website are in…
