Know-How Exchange : Career/Training

Kalum,
In a previous life I regularly interviewed college graduates and reviewed their work experience. Any job experience is better than no job experience. I wanted to see young people who had worked for someplace besides the local burger joint or college age bar.
Here are a few suggestions: try to get an intern position with a non-profit or chamber of commerce. I am on the board of museum, they are constantly looking for help with marketing related items. Press releases, updating websites, and working on publishing brochures are all unending tasks.
Volunteering for creative work is always good because you can save your work to demonstrate you did more than run the copy machine.
If you have any questions you can reach me via my website.

Hey Kalum,
Frank and Square Peg are absolutely right......stop the "Local restaurant" thing if you are building up your CV....try to forget about how much money I will be making in this or that.....focus on a job that spells out experience, motivation and ambition...try non-profit organizations, try "clerking" for some kind of Marketing company, BLT or ATL....anything that puts you in the work atmosphere of the degree you are seeking......this helps a lot iand interview for jobs later on the line.....

Good Luck
