COMM 225 - PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR COMMUNICATION CAREERS

Hours: 2
This course is designed as an introduction to professional aspects of communication careers. Through the study of various tools and techniques that are essential to communication professionals (e.g. portfolios, audition tapes, resumes, interviews), students will learn how to prepare themselves for future internship and career opportunities. In addition, students will identify specific materials that provide evidence of their professional development that can then be used in their COMM 498 Senior Portfolios that showcase personal and professional growth throughout their Otterbein experience. The course is organized as a seminar in which students will work to complete materials that are valuable to them in internship/career searches. Assignments may include career exploration research, writing of cover letters and resumes, development of questions and skills to incorporate in interviews, mock interviews with professionals, and preparation of portfolio materials, audition tapes or other pre-professional examples.
Prerequisites: Open to Communication majors only. Sophmore or higher standing is required.
