What kind of communications? Advertising? Newspaper? Magazine? Semaphore? Smoke Signals? We need detail, man. You're a communications major, after all.

My bad, I just joined this group today....Broadcast/Journalism...I would be interested in sports or maybe public relations...I interned at NBC 13 for a full year, and afterwards that kind of changed my mind about television. I want to stay close to my major but be available for any new opportunity as well.

Stay in TV...print wages are unbelievably bad!
Have you tried JournalismJobs.com -- The Job Board for Media Professionals They list by state. Also the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association Web site has a classified section where jobs are listed (Southern Newspaper Publishers Association, I think). Southern Living was hiring...they used journalismjobs.com, but they probably do it through the Time-Warner Web site now. But if you want to move up...go to Atlanta, they're way better connected there.
Best way to get a small fortune in journalism? Start with a big one!
Good luck to you!

See, if I were in your shoes, I would go into advertising and try to be a copywriter. Hie thyself to the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, spend a good year there, and you'll be making really good coin. Don't even being to screw around in journalism. It's a breeding ground for drunks, derelicts, and malcontents. I worked for a newspaper for three years in college, looked around at all the veterans, and found they were miserable people.

I would probably go the PR route. See if Southern Living has an opening or HGTV or the Food Network in Knoxville.

It's worth a shot, but I wouldn't bank on it unless the guy has a really killer book. Both places only take people who've got 2-3 years under their belt. Of course, Intermark might shove him into the automotive division. But you really don't want to start your career out there.

That's because traditional publishing is a dead-end career route.
