So I've received my first assignment for my Introduction to Professional Writing course. This is one that I'm surprisingly not dreading because it could potentially help me decide what I wanted to use my major for in terms of career choice. I have not yet decided what exactly I want to do with my communication major and writing minor that I am going to graduate with.
In my class today, we discussed our assignment and decided who we wanted to interview for the assignment. The person we choose to interview should be someone in our future career field. The first person that came to my mind was my cousin because he graduated from IUP with a major in communication media. He informed me that he isn't using his major for his current job. My next thought was to ask one of my communication professors that I've looked up to over my years here at UPJ. This is what I am planning to do. In class today, we put ourselves in groups similar to our major to discuss possible questions that we could ask during our interviews. We came up with some pretty good questions in my opinion, for example:
What was your deciding factor that made you want to get involved in the communication field?
Who is your career role model and why?
What are your connections with other people in the communication field, besides other professors?
What types of writing is involved within your career?
Would you say your writing skills sharpened since you've been involved in your career? If so, how?
I really think this interview should help me in giving me some ideas that maybe I have not yet considered as career options for my future.
