Technology In Careers

job-search

This week I decided to search for some potential jobs. Summer is coming up and can’t be all fun in the sun, so why not look for a job that can be fun without the sun! I am currently an Advertising and Public Relations student and wanted to find something in that line of work. I used to website Indeed.com to help me search for the perfect job. It was extremely easy to use and found me several potential jobs in seconds.

I searched for jobs in “advertising” and sifted through all the results to find the ones I was most interested in. Some of the jobs were not entry level, but still intriguing. I was surprised to learn how some jobs have very little requirements and some have a very long list. Below I listed the name of each job title and the company it is for, along with the  software/technology/digital skills that these five jobs in particular require.
