Rebecca Carlson Presentation

3 Things That She Said


1. Focus on one thing at a time
2. Network... Network... Network
3. Broaden your horizons

Rebecca Carlson is a former Hofstra student who is now having success as a Marketing Strategist for 360i Digital Marketing Agency. I think that she did a good job of correlating her post-graduate story with the real struggles that recent graduate have to face after college. Rebecca did not have much success immediately following college, however, she pushed through the adversity and was able to land an internship that eventually led her to the job that she is currently occupying. After not botching an interview, she stayed focused and networked the hell out of herself until she was finally able to land the internship. One thing that I learned from Rebecca's presentation is that you cannot give up. You need to keep pushing and remain confident that there is a job out there with your name on it. One also needs to stay focused on one thing at a time. There might be a lot of responsibilities out there for a recent graduate, however, you cannot let that overwhelm you. You cannot finish a task if you have millions of other things on your mind. Finish the task at hand, then you can begin working on your other tasks.
