The Internet is helping me with a career path

I am a senior at Purdue University getting ready to graduate in the Spring. Graduation is a scary time because I dont know what I will be doing after college or if I will be able to be successful in the "real world". My major is Financial Planning and Counseling with a minor in Communications. All of my classes that I have taken has helped me to see that I have a real passion and interest in the Finance world. Since the downturn of the economy in the pass year, the job market has taken a huge hit. People need financial planners more than ever, but they are too scared to put their money back into the market that just made them lose their life savings. Because of this fact, I thought it would be easy to get a job when I graduated but it is looking like that isn't the case. I need to start looking for different avenues to get my name out there into the finance field.

In order to complete my Communication minor I had to take a 400 level course. I am now enrolled in a class called Communication and Emerging Technology. It is very fascinating to see how in such a short time the technology of the computer and Internet has changed our culture. Through class I have started to learn about new technology that I hadn't know about before. One is the true affect of blogs. I have started to follow some finance blogs and some college career blogs that have helped me to see that I am not alone in the struggle to find a job. I learned through one of these blogs to start using more resume search engines like: Monster. I just put my resume up on a few sites and already have some interviews lined up. Ya! Well we will see how they go and hopefully by May I will be able to call some finance firm my new home.
