Answer 2 :
Try chron.com or snagajob.com. chron.com is our local newspaper and has lots of job listings. You sure you wanna move to Houston? ;P The freeways are INSANE!
Answer 3 :
I think you want to look into advertising agencies. I was in marcomm field after college. I remembered big companies didn't like to hire newly grads, unless you were their summer intern. However, you can get your feet wet by applying with temp agencies and visiting lots of career fairs. You can look at chron.com for any upcoming fairs. Also, join network groups like Chambers of Commerce or local chapter of professional groups, like American Marketing Association. Not sure about "media companies", I wonder if you want to work for TV stations or publishers. That would require additional experiences.
Answer 4 :
KTRK has a great staff of people and they're always looking for quality people. Stay away from the Houston Chronicle because they're laying off people left and right. The City governments are looking for PR people like the City of Houston and the City of Sugar Land. Find where you'll be living and contact them. Other wise... Go to www.simplyhired.com to view more options.
Answer 5 :
