Are you interested in writing, print or web publishing, photography, video/audio, or art as a career? How can you increase your chances of finding a job after graduating? While in college get your work published as often as possible, and create a portfolio of published works to show prospective employers. Here at GRCC the place to regularly publish your work is the student newspaper, (or on the newspaper's web site). In journalism, writing, web publishing, public relations, graphic design, broadcasting, and photography, a portfolio of published work is key to internships and jobs, and the single most important thing you can do in college to increase your chances of employment after graduating.
