Advice, please?
Aug. 28th, 2002 11:06 amFrom the "Help Wanted" section of today's uni news:
"If you have advanced writing skills and are interested in a fun and creative job developing promotional materials, then this student position in Continuing Education is for you. We're looking for a motivated and detail oriented person to work in a team environment. You will assist with project conceptualization, research, writing, editing and proofreading copy for press releases, paids ads, catalogs and web pages. Here is an excellent opportunity to develop your professional portfolio. Relevant work experience preferred. Preference given to individuals desiring employment longer than 2 semesters. &7.00/hour, 15-20 hours/week. Resume and portfolio required for interview."
The negative against me would probably be my work experience, which in actual job terms is limited to Dairy Queen and the photography studio this summer...but if I could use this as a co-op, I would definitely be in it for long-term work. Now, my question is, what would I want them to see in a portfolio? I was planning on putting mine together this semester, so I don't have anything really set yet. I'm pleading for all of you who actually have work experience to give me advice here. I laid out last year's literary magazine, I have a bound job proposal project that I did last year in premiere that looks pretty spiffy...would they want more written things? What do you think a job like this would want to see? Even if I don't get it, I think it'd be nice to have some more interview experience. If you have any insight at all, please tell me what you think.
