Where do you
see yourself after your time at Hofstra?
After I
graduate from Hofstra University in May 2016, I will hopefully be working at a
public relations firm in New York City.
What are the
most interesting experiences you’ve had on campus (with a club, greek life, class,
etc) and/or at a job or internship? What did you learn or take away from these
experiences?
The most
interesting experience I’ve had on campus is the Networking Dinner and the
Public Relations Conference. Through these two events, you get to network with
different professionals from different industries. These two events also help
you figure out what your interests are and where you want to intern and work in
the future. Also, my internship is another great experience I have here at
school because I know exactly what I’ll be doing in the future, I’m getting
real world experience that I can’t get in the classroom, and I know that this
is exactly what I want to do with the rest of my life.
What advice
would you give to your classmates regarding their professional development?
Advice I would
give to my classmates regarding their professional development is to join a
club related to your major because of all the skills that you learn and all the
networking opportunities that are available to you. Also, utilize your
professors and advisors who will offer you advice, point you in the right
direction for classes and internships, and answer any questions you have regarding
your future. Don’t hesitate to use The Career Center to work on your resume and
to prepare for interviews.
What is one
career-related accomplishment you hope to make before you graduate?
One
career-related accomplishment I hope to make before graduation is getting a
job.
