The annual Scripps Senior Saturday will be held from 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2009, in Scripps Hall. Sponsored by the Scripps Society of Alumni & Friends, this free event is held each year to help prepare graduating journalism students for their job searches. Seniors receive resume critiques and advice on their portfolios, cover letters, job hunting strategies, and more. Last year’s event drew 109 graduating seniors, the most ever!
The keynote speaker is Ernest Hayes, director of human resources for the E. W. Scripps Company, who will cover the basics of the job search process. There are also panels for the different sequences (i.e. public relations, magazine, news writing and editing/online journalism, advertising management, and broadcast), for students to connect with professionals and alumni in their fields. In addition, a panel of recent grads will share insider tips for being a valuable – and happy – first-year employee.
Students wanting to attend should email Sharon Case at cases1@ohio.edu with their name and sequence by Jan. 28.
