The always serendipitous blogosphere has a batch of discussions coinciding with my Online Journalism class's topics for the last couple of weeks of the semester -- teaching yourself more online skills than any one class covers, and exploring the relationship between "online" media and jobs for journalism school graduates...

• New Media Skills = Better Job Prospects (Innovation in College Media)
• Three job tips for students from Paul Conley, who also points out that...
• Folks with resumes need not apply for a new job at Wired (instead forward a blog post).
• Related observations from the PBS Media Shift blog by Mark Glaser
• About those jobs from Mark Hamilton in Vancouver
• California grad student Ryan Sholin even posted An informal poll on what I should learn next (With a great chain of answers from some serious experts)
• The Wall Street Journal has its own item on How Blogging Can Help You Get a New Job, and not just in "online media."
• The pro-am hybrid answer to the question "what can I do with my journalism skills?" -- contribute some fact-finding time to newassignment.net
