Here at Lava Row, we cross paths with college students on a pretty regular basis. We sit on panels at universities, speak in front of student groups and participate in local networking events with students. Nathan served as an adjunct instructor at Drake University, teaching an Internet marketing course to upperclassmen. Norah graduated from college a year ago, and remains involved in Drake’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication as a graduate. As we’ve met incredible, driven students from schools across Iowa, we’ve answered one question more than any other: “How do I get a job working with social media?”
On Friday, December 9 at 3pm, we’ll present our first local workshop specifically for students interested in working with social media after college. Join us for a (free!) candid discussion about how social media is playing in to marketing, communications and journalism careers — and how it’s affecting companies as a whole — and what that means for your future career. We’ll discuss the skills you’ll need to have to get hired, the platforms you’ll need to play with and the tools you’ll use to make it all easier. And we’ll talk about the ways in which social media for business is fundamentally different than how we use Facebook, Twitter, foursquare and other platforms in our personal lives.
Interested in joining us? Register at the bottom of this post — seats are limited to the first 20 registrants. Click here for directions to our office; metered parking is available along Market Street and SW 2nd Street (so don’t forget your quarters!).
