It’s your senior year in college at MSU, and you think you’ve got your schedule all worked out so you can graduate on time. You are finally in some of those important classes that you wished you could have taken in your sophomore year, and are beginning to put together a portfolio for potential employers.
Well here is some advice to you seniors, and even sophomores and juniors. Start collecting your work early and start thinking ahead. If there is one class you should add to your schedule, it should be the New Media Driver’s License course. This is one of those important classes you should have gotten into years ago.
How can it help you? Well it satisfies 2 credits and it’s online. It fits your schedule perfectly and it helps you develop a web presence for yourself. Employers expect you to have a portfolio, and not just a folder they can hold in their hands. They want to see your work online, see your website/blog that you’ve written and managed, see your networking connections, and see your online personality and presence.
NMDL helps you create your own blog, make network connections, and helps you create an online presence so that when someone Googles your name, your information pops up, not some random person living in New Hampshire who signed up to an Atari Fan Site.
If you want to stand out to employers, take this class. Go ahead, join the Facebook group and see what its about. You might want to hide that picture of you double fisting those beers first though…just another suggestion.
