Public relations expert, executive consultant and journalism professor Steve Krizman discusses his career path, including a major career transition that surprised even him.

Why it’s not just about getting the degree, why marketing will be more likely to survive creative destruction, and how being yourself is the best personal branding tool you have.

While I’m not at my best every day, I made a deal with myself a few years ago never to wear sweatpants or pajamas to class. Here’s why I stand by that decision.

My boss/mentor/gift sender/close friend and I chat about her career journey and how working while attending college can benefit you immensely! ““You’re never stuck anywhere. You always can find opportunity, you’ll just have to work to find it. You’ll have to work to do what you want to do but when you’re doing something you love, it doesn’t always feel like work.” ” Sarah Hunsinger, B.S., is social media manager for Metropolitan State University of Denver. She manages 11 social media accounts across 6 networks and provides oversight and guidance for all student- and department-run pages. She also develops best practices for social media use and engagement and consults on guidelines and strategy for campus departments, programs and student organizations. Hunsinger received her bachelor’s degree in marketing from MSU Denver in 2014, after which she served as the University’s enrollment and community manager for three years. She is certified in Hootsuite and Higher Education Customer Service and has worked as a freelance social media consultant to help several mid-sized firms find their social media voice and build an engaged following. In her spare time, she loves hiking, cooking delicious food and spending time with her husband and two greyhounds. If she could only use one platform for the rest of her life, it would definitely be Instagram.

The job hunt can be especially difficult if you're a college senior. You don't really have an idea of where to go, how to start, how you compare to other candidates….and that’s on top of your coursework, internships, and any other activities you have going on.
