Is anybody out there?

Thanks to the constantly broadening horizon of the world wide web, I'm not the only one blogging about life after graduation. While my blog is just getting kicked off, I thought it would be important to share a few others that are already established in the blogosphere. The following blogs will help to shed some light on many different perspectives of life after graduation in PR, marketing and social media.

• http://aftergraduation.net/blog/
• This blog could very well be my favorite out of all the blogs I've come across so far. The creator simply goes by "Allison" and documents her thoughts and career path in a relaxed and relatable tone. I wouldn't recommend to read this blog around any kids though, her real-world language might be PG-13. But the occasional cursing lends the blog a sense of reality, she's speaking the truth, from the heart. Plus it's funny. "After Graduation" is a must read. Here are some of her topics:
• the job hunt after graduation
• "Allison's" career path in blogging
• being confident/humble in an interview
• networking
• BlogWorld
• being content
• www.komailmithani.com
• Komail Mithani is a 20-something communications graduate who spawned a blog from his personal webpage. Sometimes his posts are personal, but mostly he offers great tips on social media and a first hand account of success after graduation. He's a great blogger and anyone who plans on working with social media could learn a thing or two from him. 
• "How to Improve Your Social Media Stance"
• social media evangelism
• "10 Signs That Show You're Ready to Graduate" - my favorite
• Deanna Ferrari - Slide Share
• This one isn't a blog, but I came across it and decided it needed an honorable mention. This powerpoint presentation was given to communications students at Clarion University in 2010 by Deanna Ferrari, a Senior Account Executive at WordWrite Communications. Okay, let's remember this is the internet (where anyone can say anything) so these facts about this person may not necessarily be true, but for the sake of the information, we'll just go with it. The presentation is titled "How NOT To Get a Job After Graduation - and How To Use Social Media to Help You Get One". It's short, sweet and to the point, but helpful. She shares her story of job hunting after college and offers advice on how to best make it through the hunt. 

So hopefully these other blogs and sites will help you even more along your way. One last thing I want to mention, PRSA Job Center might be the mack daddy on starting a career in PR. 'Nuff said. Check it out.
