For most communication students the reality of our major is that we listen to many presentations by working professionals in our field. Besides being able to have such a great real world resource there is one thing that this Marquette senior has learned. What they say is actually important. Think about when you were a kid and your parents would give you great advice and you would “ahhh,” whatever. Well I can see us looking back on the advice these professional’s give us and say WOW! , I wish I could have listened to it closer back then. Believe it or not I actually have. Here’s what I took,
• Work hard, just don’t sit around and think you entitled because you went to Marquette take the initiative to find a job or an internship or to take the next step in one you might already be in
• Always look for ways to better yourself and educate yourself. Look at this as a way to empower you career and it will change many aspects of your life
• Learn to be a good communicator. Believe it or not communication students should strive to master this. Communicating is a skill that should get better over time not regress
My advice is to read and learn to better yourself in every way possible, hey you might just like what happens. Here is a link that will help give you some great tips to jump start this.

Being in the College of Comm. I have to admit...there have been many times when I have thought the things that professors or guest speakers had said was no more than just common sense. But as the years have come and gone, and now the real world is awaiting me, I have realized that the things that I have remembered from my college time is not the assignments that I have completed or the exams that I have aced, it's been only the advice of the those experienced that I have remembered. And I'm thankful that I do! Everything that they have told me from interview tips to workplace skills will hopefully bring me to places that I've dreamed of!
