Career opportunity in writing
Example:
​
Learnt about how writing could be done in the industry, how it works. At first, I was worried because in all the advice I was given, having a working experience was everything for a fresh grad and for someone who has none I was worried at where I would end up after graduation. But after the lecture I feel more positive regarding my position in the future, sure I might need more pieces in my portfolio but it gave me a little more hope regarding my future. The lecture was also interesting in the many job aspects that I could do with my degree, the content specialist and even being a comic book writer is apparently open for someone with my major. It really surprised me how vast the writing industry is as I thought it was mere article writing and promotional content but now it is so much more. Learnt that people in any industry will always need a writer to write content for them, so maybe I am not so hopeless after all in the end.
