Of course, there's more to the job search than scouring online boards. "Everybody can see a listing on the Internet, and hundreds of people apply for these positions," says Eric Fidler, faculty managing editor of the Daily Egyptian at Southern Illinois University. "Many of my students have had better luck keeping in touch with recent — and not-so-recent— alumni in the field and with journalists they meet at conferences or while covering stories."

So, next on your list? Networking.

 NYC is sending some of its best design minds –— via SND and SPD — to get the best out of yours at the Spring National College Media Convention.

The designer behind the Huffington Post’s iPad magazine plans to “talk about design, creativity, brainstorming, sucking, Photoshop, ethics, cats and other randomness.”

The executive editor of The Villages Daily Sun, one of the country’s fastest-growing newspapers (and one that’s hiring, hint, hint), will teach you how to be a visual ideas machine.

The NYT’s Arts designer swears there are good print jobs out there, and he’ll tell you how to get them. (Folks from Money magazine, EW and Time plan to take you down this road, too.)

SND’s own executive director will help you add life to your work.

Esquire's art director will share the biggest design lessons he's learned (plus handy tips and tricks).

The creative directors at 9Threads Custom Publishing plan to get inventive (think fuzzy heds and floating fonts).

Plus you’ll learn about the transition from print to digital with a CNN Digital design guru and 10 quick design fixes from six-time editor of The Best of Newspaper Design. Get a crash course in redesign from an editor at the Staten Island Advance. Watch an SPJ national board member tear apart and rebuild pages on the fly.

NYC13 is staged in the center of the media capital of the world, and some of the industry’s biggest players are just outside the doors of the New York Sheraton. We have plenty of their pros coming to you undefined here’s your chance to go to them.

First-come, first-served signups will be held Sunday morning for limited media tours. (Most of the tours take place Monday and Tuesday. Groups will meet a chaperone and walk to the site.)

Here’s some of what we have in the works:

• The Associated Press: Sit in on a morning news meeting at AP’s HQ, then tour the nation’s largest news-gathering organization.

• Watch a taping of Democracy Now! Then tour the studio, meet the staff and get fed (coffee and muffins).

• Visit Bloomberg News, which spans TV, radio, digital and print. You’ll tour the radio and TV stations with a VIP.

• Get an art-and-design look at Rolling Stone. (And, don’t tell, but the pub is looking for interns …)

• Tour Hearst Tower, home of Esquire, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Good Housekeeping, and Seventeen. You’ll get a sneak peek at either Marie Claire or Popular Mechanics.

• Visit the United States’ largest newspaper and home of 35 Pulitzer Prizes: The Wall Street Journal.

•  Discuss your career path and future on-site with Viacom staffers undefined from MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and more.

• Learn about a new kind of investigative journalism at ProPublica, an independent, nonprofit newsroom.

We want you to take you where you want to go, so we’re in discussions with additional TV and radio networks, big-name publications and online-news orgs. We’re also looking at a sightseeing tour of important media landmarks.

Joining us at NYC13 gives you options you won’t find anywhere else. Register by Friday, Feb. 15 to save.

Today’s media grads need to know how to do it all. And the obvious (interview, write, edit, shoot, design, capture sound, sell, etc.) is no longer enough. In addition to your own field of expertise, you need to have basic skills in many of the others. And even more than that, you have to promote your own work, build a personal brand, understand the job market and even, hey, know what in the world you want to do, exactly, after graduation.

NYC13 is here to help.

The convention features nearly 30 sessions on all of the topics above (plus designing your resume, building a portfolio, making a good first impression, channeling your passion and much more) and multiple opportunities to have industry professionals and college-media experts critique your work and resumes and talk about your future.

You can get career advice from retired WaPo editor and recruiter Bill Elsen. Have the NYC Deadline Club review your resume. Meet one-on-one for radio critiques from “Golden Throat,” TV critiques from CMA’s technology and broadcast director and publication critiques from dozens of CMA’s top advisers.  Photographers who’ve worked with The New York Times and ESPN the Magazine will discuss your images.

You’ll also meet recent grads with who’ve landed dream jobs with Entertainment Weekly and launched their own magazines. Hear what it’s like to cover Jay-Z and Beyonce. Get internship tips from the director of the Pulliam Fellowship.

Oh, and have a chance to tour AP HQ, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, Hearst Tower and more media orgs.

You’ll learn what it takes to prepare yourself for this field and meet the people who can help you get there. Plus grab some roasted nuts from a street cart, play the giant piano in FAO Schwartz and pose for photos in Times Square.

We can’t promise you’ll land a job. But we’ll certainly share some tips and open some doors. Register to join us at NYC13.org.

The topics are as varied as the experience of their presenters: basic and advanced sessions on interviewing, research, coaching, story ideas, AP style, news literacy and objectivity and covering sports, crises, controversies and breaking news, sexual assault, body image, race, national news, A&E and more.
