Too often we hear about creating and living your own brand. If that doesn’t seem abundantly straightforward and clear, we’ve put together a week’s worth of professional development built around branding and networking to help you take the next step in your career. And naturally, we have added a few fun activities to make sure you’re getting some proper downtime as well.
To start, we’re offering our student members who are interested in the media industry the chance to attend an event hosted by Mediabistro managing editor Valerie Berrios and senior education manager Sandra Reitman for the opportunity to learn how to use the powerful media tool, Mediabistro, when looking for that first job.

For our more experienced members who are either looking for new employment or a career change, we’ve joined forces Career Thinker in hosting a series of job advancement seminars. Members are invited to attend a free “Preparing For Job Interviews Seminar.”
Increase your chances of hearing the words “You’re Hired” by knowing how to prepare for an interview. This free seminar will be held on August 13. Seats fill up extremely quickly. Sign up here.
