Discussion #1 – Your Career Path

The final project for this class is an Adobe Express web page or Canva web page about your Media & Entertainment dream job. To get ready for this project, you must find a job posting for what might be your dream job. I understand that you may be considering several different options. If that is the case, pick the one you want to learn the most about. Also, don’t worry – as long as it fits within the field of Media & Entertainment (which can be rather broad), it will work.

For this discussion post, please answer the following questions:

  • Post the link to the job like this – Videographer/Editor
  • What skills are required for this job? What are the responsibilities? (Do not copy and paste – summarize)
  • What skills do you currently have that make you a fit for this job? (Don’t worry if you don’t have that many or any – that is why you are in school now!)
  • What skills do you need to develop?
  • How can you develop them? Examples:
  • Find the job that comes closet to your field on O*Net Online to find:
    • What is the median wage for the United States? For Georgia?
    • What types of work styles connect to your current work style? What might be a challenge?
    • What technological skills do you need to have?
    • What knowledge bases do you need to develop?
