Jane MurphyDate of graduation: May, 2002 Carolina Week Testimonial: My experience with Carolina Week was truly invaluable and one of my fondest memories at Carolina. Not only did it equip me to work in the news business, but it has also been a huge asset for me in my latest career change. Advice: Take advantage of EVERY opportunity you can while you're involved with Carolina Week. If you want to go into TV news, this is where you'll make your resume--not in your classes, not with your GPA, but with the practical experience of putting a live newscast on the air. Thanks to my experience at Carolina Week, I had my first job before I graduated. And should you change your career path as I have, know that the experience working as a team, building your communication skills, and bringing a project to completion will be a huge selling point. Now that I've gotten my MBA and started a career in consulting, I've been amazed at how advantageous my background in broadcast journalism has been. The ability to produce concise and persuasive writing, to deliver commanding presentations, and to coordinate team efforts is a priceless asset. I credit Carolina Week with laying the foundation for my current career path. |
