Communications Expo

Last Thursday I went to the JB expo, and it went really well.  There were not as many companies there as I was expecting but I still think I was able to make some great connections.  I talked to five or six different companies like Associated Centers for Therapy, Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency, University Marketing and News 9.  All companies I talked to seem really excited to be there and helping students in their future careers.

At the expo I talked to Beverly Moore who worked for ACT.  She told me that her company was not there looking for internets but just to network.  Well I got to talking to her and told her how I am interested in PR for oil and natural gas companies.  She has a really good friend in Tulsa who is in PR working for an oil and natural gas company and she gave me his information and is forwarding my resume onto him.  It’s amazing how networking works!

Socially Orange

www.sociallyorange.org is now up and running! 

Our class project is to design a place for all types of people to network.  We want students, professionals, professors, high school students and any other interested canidates to join in our discussions.  We want this network to be a place where people can post questions they have about any aspect of the JB fields, and a place they can connect and get answers as well as meeting other people interested in the same things they are.

We used Ning to create our social network.  Right now we  have the basics done.  For the time being the site is primarily directed towards the college age students.  We are brainstorming our ideas for our discussion rooms and what we think would be important information that JB students want to know. 

What suggestions do you have that you think would  be important issues to discuss on sociallyorange?
