 It's called "Catch 22." To get a job in media, you have to have worked in media. Ad directors and editors alike want to see resumes with real-world experience and clips to show what you can do. So if no one will hire you without experience, how do you get experience? Student Media, publisher of The Oklahoma Daily, Sooner yearbook, Sower magazine and other niche publications, is one answer, and we're right here on campus. We're now hiring to fill summer and fall positions in advertising, reporting, editing, design, photography, videography, social media, online publishing and more. Interested? Applying is easy. Go to http://www.studentmedia.ou.edu/jobs and fill out the online application. Don't wait. The deadline to apply for summer and fall positions is April 20. |
