*** One Paragraph Pitch:

I graduated from University of South Florida with a degree in marketing. During my undergrad studies, I spent a summer studying abroad and a spring break in El Salvador building homes through a program called Un Techo Para Mi Pais. That same year, I also raised money (in lieu of gifts for my 22nd birthday) to support Charity: Water, a non-profit that provides clean drinking water to countries that suffer from lack of the same. All of these opportunities have given me a great appreciation for the world and its occupants. In addition, I am also proficient in various computer software programs such as Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office. I would love the opportunity to use my skills and experience to market a progressive organization. My previous work experience includes a part-time job that allowed me to use my social media and marketing skills to promote a real estate firm. I also have interned with a marketing firm and gained valuable marketing skills. I am willing to relocate anywhere in the United States. If you have entry-level marketing positions available, please contact me at samya.thangaraj@gmail.com.

Thank you!

*** From Joyce Lofstrom:

Ned,

Hope you are doing well�I have a request in the note below that I would appreciate running in JOTW � if it fits your needs. Thanks so much. Joyce Lofstrom

I have been a subscriber of JOTW since 2002 and read it each week. I am not in search of a job, but wanted to ask readers their thoughts on job searching for new college graduates? Full disclosure: I am asking/networking for my son who just finished his MS in Leadership and Public Policy Studies; his BA is in Journalism and Political Science. I have been working with him as he pursues his first job, ideally in Chicago or DC..but really anywhere. We both know it is going to take time, and we need to reach out to our network of colleagues, friends and family. But, beyond that, I am interested in thoughts on what others recommend or have done to land that first job. It is always a daunting task, but one particularly challenging now. Any thoughts would be welcome in the spirit of selfish altruism.
