I will be a panelist today for an American University Career Center program for graduate students in the School of Communication. I am collecting some of my career-advice blog posts here to share with the students:
Use digital tools to showcase your career and your work
Tips on landing your next job in digital journalism
Job-hunting advice for journalists selling skills in the digital market
Confessions (strategies) of a branded journalist (or a journalist with a reputation, if you prefer)
Your digital profile tells people a lot
Career lessons from Daniel Victor’s swift ascent
Career lessons from a former ‘Twitter monkey’
Matt Thompson advises job-seekers how to land a journalism gig
Elevate your journalism career
What are some other helpful career-oriented links for journalists?
Reblogged this on and commented:
This is fantastic! Wonderful post!

I joined Steve on the panel (where I learned a lot myself!). We also offered tips on networking, including joining (ok, I know this is hard fellow journos) professional organizations. Three I mentioned:
Online News Association: http://journalists.org/
Investigative Reporters and Editors: http://ire.org/
Journalism and Women Symposium: http://www.jaws.org/
All three offer training and networking opportunities.
Another possibility that I didn’t mention but might be especially helpful for those in Washington:
The National Press Club: http://press.org/
More than just a bar these days.
All of the above offer discounted rates for students.
