This 5-week course is strongly recommended for students preparing for an internship through the School of Journalism as well as students about to enter the workforce. It addresses anxiety, stress, resilience and how to reduce anxiety and stress and increase resilience by being prepared for internships, jobs and life success. This interactive class is designed to coach students to work on-site for a news or news-related organization under the supervision of an experienced media professional either in an internship or entry-level position. It also will help students develop a Plan B by identifying available jobs that use journalistic skills outside of journalism itself. Students will finish with a workshopped set of application materials including cover letters, resumes and an online work portfolio. They will develop a job-search plan and practice skills expected in the professional workplace.
