In a tough economic market, we're interested in what jobs DTC grads are finding. Please let Dr. Arola and me know about what you're finding and how you're leveraging your DTC degree in interesting, creative ways.
I just received great news from a May '09 grad who was offered seven (yes, I'm not kidding seven) different jobs! Here's part of what he said,
"The types of jobs out there cater to DTC students tremendously. I think I am going to take the job with ****** because they are offering me a job as a Junior Strategist where I deal with interactive marketing, web 2.0 technologies etc. If it were not for DTC, I would not have been able to discuss these topics and my skills in the interview. So I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the guidance and encouragement and opening my mind and teaching me skills that will make me successful in life. I start July 1st!"
