    you're pretty good in the business, mgmt, pr, marketing, sales fields. Talk to alumni from your school and recent grads to get a feel for the market where you're searching.

    Particular jobs- Advertising Exec/assistant, Medical/business sales rep, Marketing/PR Assistant, MGMT trainee in retail banking...

    Hopefully your GPA is really good, if not, just make sure you use all your connections. mediabistro is a good website for communications/pr/marketing jobs

    You should have organizations on campus that will help you find internships in the areas you are studying. Interning is the best way to go to get an idea of what you'll like!

    It's a broad major so you can do a lot with it. Think about what you like, music, books, whatever and start searching for companies in your area that need interns or part time work. You can start there as a step while you are taking your classes.
