Careers in Advertising & Communications: Where The Jobs Are! The exclamation point is there for a reason. To proclaim that, at long last, there are signs that the outlook for jobs in advertising and communications is improving. Lots of different types of jobs in a wide range of companies are out there for students majoring in advertising, communications, marketing, and related disciplines, and these events will help you find them.
Each event features a panel of advertising and communications professionals—drawn from ad agencies, media buying firms, PR firms, and media companies—discussing the questions that are top-of-mind for students, such as:
What type of job is right for me? Creative? Media planning? Account management? Sales? Digital? Public relations? Promotions? Event management?
How do I get an internship? How do I land that first full-time job?
What can I do to make myself a more desirable candidate to potential employers?
What's the best place to work? Ad agency vs. media company? Agency or in-house? Big vs. small agency? Philly vs. New York City?
You’ll have plenty of time to get answers to your questions during the panel discussion and afterwards, as the panelists will be staying until 8:00 to network with you and answer your questions one-on-one. The panelists confirmed to date are as follows:
