Last Friday I sat down with someone at Career Services to talk about the potential avenues that I could explore after graduation. We quickly realized that publishing wasn’t a huge component of my future plans, but we still delved into possible digital publishing jobs. The jobs that really stood out to me were jobs in social media. I spend probably almost all of my time on the Internet or on my phone, and I have used a lot of the popular social media websites (i.e. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook). I also have a good grasp on pop culture so I could see myself working for a website that covers pop culture like Bustle or Pop Sugar.

As I said before, publishing doesn’t have a big impact on my plans after graduation, mostly because I have grown an interest in theatre production and I had a great experience working for a theatre company over the summer. We did look at a job position that was brought to my attention by another professor called a dramaturge, which is a literary advisor or editor in theatre or movies. Now thinking about it, it does have relations to publishing, but not for a publishing company specifically. It sounded really interesting and something that I would like to learn more about. Hopefully through this class I can learn a few things that I can apply to future job avenues. Before I left I was given two Career Pathway sheets for English and Theatre, which have other job opportunities that I can look into.

From my intentional understanding of digital publishing and how it would correlate with the field that I’m interested in that there wouldn’t be much of a correlation. After meeting with the career advisor, I found a new understanding of digital publishing and how it can relate to the field of medical lab technicians. From my meeting, we examined different opportunities and what fields that could use the aspect of lab techs and digital publishing coming together as one cohesive unit.

From the meeting, we explored different companies using digital publishing. For example, the compaines of Lilly and Sano Fi are both pharmaceutical companies that focus on the medical side and publishing side of how they could use it to get information across. In a job, they call a content manager and or creator where they manage and focus on how they can publish information in a form of media. Another way that this field could be used is through medical journals. This method is a way for people to learn of scientific methods in a way that it is not over-bearing and complicated for people who are not in the scientific field. The final method was in pharmacies for example like Cvs and Walgreens. They use the method of advertisement to and methods to encourage people to get flu vaccinations and other information that may not be prevalent to normal customers and makes it easier for them to read
