Acknowledging the broad nature of the communication discipline and the difficulty it can present for students in identifying and articulating their post-graduation plans, "Making the Most of Your College Experiences: A Guide for Communication Majors" equips students with the tools they need to better understand themselves, capitalize on their educational experiences, and clearly define their career goals. The book shows readers how the communication concepts, practices, transferable skills, and power skills they learn in the classroom can serve as tools to help them chart and build their careers.
Organized into three parts, the text focuses on the student's self-awareness, the communication industry, and career planning. 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 acquisition.
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 course, or portfolio course. The book is also a perfect addition to academic advising.
By adjusting the language and structure, the revised text maintains the original content and meaning while providing a more reader-friendly experience. The concise and focused presentation allows the key points to be conveyed effectively within the 500-word limit.
