For the second Career Trip of the Spring 2018 semester, the Marist College Center For Career Services took eight communications students to the Hudson Square area of Manhattan on Feb. 9 to meet alumni and other employees working at CBS Radio, now known as Entercom.

The afternoon included a musical performance by a platinum recording artist, studio tours on two floors, and meet and greet opportunities with leaders across the technical, news, sports, on-air, programming, and sales departments at the Entercom facility. Rich Nass ’92, director of automotive sales for Entercom New York, helped plan and organize the visit.

一些与会者当天早些时候就开始了他们的行程，他们在大楼的表演大厅欣赏了万斯·乔伊(Vance Joy)的两首歌舞台表演. Vance Joy also participated in a Q&A with the students following his performance.

The first stop on the building tour was the control room, where students learned about technical operations of all CBS stations with Market Chief Engineer Jim McGivern. Next was the space for WCBS News Radio 880 AM, the flagship station of CBS Radio News. News and Program Director Tim Scheld showed students the behind the scenes coordination of a live broadcast.

新闻编辑室楼下的学生们还参观了世界上最早的24/7体育广播电台的三个演播室:WFAN体育广播(上午660点), 101.9 FM). 节目副总裁马克·切尔诺夫(Mark Chernoff)主持了一场bet亚洲365欢迎投注他在广播行业的职业道路的讨论，并把大家带到了播放《bet亚洲365欢迎投注》(Boomer)和《bet亚洲365欢迎投注》(Gio)等主流节目的演播室, The Afternoon Drive, and Tiki and Tierney.

During the final session of the afternoon, Nass and Account Executive Kristin Conte ’12 discussed students’ career plans with them over lunch. The pair of Marist alums also offered an overview of their roles and day to day tasks in the sales division for Entercom.

 

 

Four Marist College students along with 24 students from Bard College, Mount Saint Mary College and SUNY New Paltz attended a career trip to Penguin Random House on Jan. 16 in New York City. 企鹅兰登书屋人力资源总监Stacy Berliner和人力资源招聘人员Julie Slater与所有学生讨论了实习机会和全职机会. Attendees also received a tour of the publishing offices.

 

 

For the third consecutive year the Marist College Center for Career Services held its LinkedIn Photo Booth event Nov. 29.

This year’s program was extended by an hour, 在卡纳维诺图书馆三楼的校友阅览室里，140名学生穿着职业装，为他们的领英档案拍摄大头照. 每位学生与三名摄影师中的一名拍摄了多张大头照，并将照片存放在西北互助银行提供的闪存盘中, which sponsored the event.

西北互惠大学招生主任瑞恩·里夫斯和校园招聘人员玛丽·凯·墨菲也亲自向学生们讲述了如何在LinkedIn上建立一个强大的个人资料.

"I was very impressed with the Marist students who attended this year's event,” said Desmond Murray, associate director of field experience in the Marist College Center For Career Services. “At least 20-25 students were at the LinkedIn Photo Booth almost 15 minutes before the event began. This shows that the students were eager to get their headshots and it also shows a good work ethic to be prompt for an interview or appointment."

About 30 additional students attended this year’s LinkedIn Photo Booth compared to last year’s event. Senior Michelle Eggink '18 even came to have her photo taken twice wearing separate outfits each time.

“It is very important to have a professional photo for your LinkedIn profile because you want potential employers to see you in your best light,” Eggink said. “With a professional photo you can put your best foot forward on digital platforms and potentially enhance your networking opportunities.”

 

 

 

The Marist College Center for Career Services took 30 students into New York City on Friday, November 17, to learn more about the inner workings of IPG MediaBrands.

A digital advertising agency overlooking Herald Square in Manhattan, IPG MediaBriands provides branding for corporations by offering digital strategy, creative content, community management, paid social media campaigns and analytics to its clients. Its employees work on advertising campaigns for traditional media such as television, radio, and print, as well as social and mobile media. The agency, which includes an in-house production company, also incorporates content into emerging media such as Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.

Eight Marist College alumni currently work at IPG MediaBrands. The group held a Question and Answer session with current Marist students as part of the Career Trek. East Coast CEO Kris Mangel also held an information with students who attended the event at the agency’s headquarters. He outlined the agency’s structure and gave his thoughts on the state of the advertising industry. The Career Trek included a session led by IPG MediaBrands Talent Acquisition Partner Sean Ahearn ’14, who discussed the application process for jobs and the agency’s summer internship program. Students also took a tour of the five-story office building.

 

                       

 

Marist College senior Matt Onorato helped organize the event after completing a 10-week internship with IPG MediaBrands last summer. 他说，他在IPG MediaBrands的上司鼓励他在不干涉的管理风格下探索公司的不同部门.

“They really gave me the experience I wanted to get, even if it wasn’t available within the position I started in,” Onorato said. “On an individual level, they gave me the tools I needed to succeed and let me figure out tasks on my own.”

During his internship Onorato helped manage social media campaigns for clients such as Jeep, McCormick, Arby’s and Hershey’s. 他参加了客户的促销活动，并在实习结束时为客户高管创建并进行了一场社交媒体活动的演示.

Employees at IPG MediaBrands do not have desks. 取而代之的是给他们提供一台笔记本电脑，他们可以把它插到办公室周围的屏幕上，以鼓励每天在大楼周围不同的人之间的流动性和互动.

Though Onorato was selected to intern within the Society business unit of IPG MediaBrands, he also worked alongside other employees on advertising campaigns for television. He said he enjoyed the collaborative work environment during his experience with the organization.

“It was really more like an apprenticeship than an internship because the agency wanted me to experience everything it was working on,” he said.

奥诺拉托目前是bet亚洲365欢迎投注职业服务中心的社交媒体实习生，也是bet亚洲365欢迎投注校园部的平面设计师. 今年5月，他获得了营销方向的工商管理学士学位，毕业后他接受了回到IPG MediaBrands的邀请.

奥诺拉托鼓励其他学生探索新的方法来吸引目标受众，并努力将他们目前的激情转化为终身职业.

“One of the directors at IPG told me to always fuel your creativity,” Onorato said. “No matter what you’re interested in just pursue it and everything else will fall into place.”

 

 

The British Invasion hit the Marist College campus Nov. 15, when Marist’s Center for Career Services hosted the first ever panel discussion exploring graduate study in the United Kingdom. 

Representatives from eight UK universities from England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland took part in the panel to discuss the nuances of their campuses as well as aspects of academic study in the United Kingdom. Some universities had been to Marist before for last year’s UK Graduate School Forum while others came to Poughkeepsie for the first time.

研究生院和奖学金顾问帕特·泰勒组织了这次活动，她说她对参加会议的学生的年级多样性以及小组中广泛的大学感到高兴.

“从曼彻斯特大学(University of Manchester)和贝尔法斯特女王大学(Queen’s University Belfast)等知名院校到一些不太知名的院校，都有很多, but still strong schools like Northumbria and Aberdeen,” Taylor said. “There was something for any student who attended and lots of them came away interested in studying in the United Kingdom.”

所有的招生代表都简要介绍了他们的机构和他们提供的课程，然后所有人都参加了一般性的问答环节. 该小组的其他学校包括英格兰的基尔大学和兰开斯特大学，苏格兰的斯特拉斯克莱德大学和爱丁堡大学.

小组讨论中提到的美国和英国研究生学习的差异包括英国硕士课程的不同长度, with some taking twelve months to complete while others last the two years we are more accustomed to in America. Further, 英国的研究生学习被指定为以研究为基础(MRes)，或者强调通过授课型硕士学位获得的更多基础研究. Students who are self-directed are also more likely to thrive at a UK university than those who are not.

“UK students are given a vast syllabus but typically most of their grade is dependent on their final paper,” Taylor said. “Faculty are eager to meet with students, but, at the same time, they’re not going to spoon-feed them.”

泰勒指出，英国可能会吸引未来的研究生，因为有机会通过与教职员工的合作研究来探索其文化的多样性和思想. At the same time, American students who move to the United Kingdom for postgraduate courses face little to no language barrier. It is also extremely easy to travel to different areas of the UK, and there is a significant difference between U.S. and U.K. tuition fees.

Many UK universities on the panel have rolling admissions, but specific graduate programs at these schools may have official deadlines that fall in the spring. There also may be institutional financial aid in the form of scholarships, called bursaries, nationally competitive scholarships for U.K. postgraduate study such as the Marshall Scholarship, and other forms of help specifically for international students coming from across the pond.

“Study in the UK is not for everybody,” Taylor said. “Some students may not feel comfortable being away from home for an extended period of time, but it’s great for students who are hungry for a rich educational experience.”

 

 

 

Underclassmen at Marist learned about applying for the Marshall Scholarship from committee members who review applications. 助理国务卿兼奖学金管理负责人玛丽·丹尼尔和马歇尔援助纪念委员会评选委员会主席黛安·弗林做了一个小时的演讲，讨论了即将到来的申请周期，并介绍了这项全国性竞争性奖项的背景信息.

The Marshall Scholarships finance young Americans of high ability to study for a degree in the United Kingdom. Partner schools for the Marshall Scholarship include 160 universities across the United Kingdom.

During the information session attendees received advice on the application, interview, and selection processes for the Marshall Scholarship. Flynn and Denyer touched on the components of the application and variety of universities for scholarship recipients to choose from respectively. 

Both representatives answered individual questions from students following the presentation. Graduate School and Fellowship Advisor Pat Taylor organized the event.

Graduate School and Fellowship Advisor Pat Taylor and the Marist English Department invited Dr. Sinead Moynihan to share her research on Irish migration and representations of Irish heritage. Moynihan came to Poughkeepsie from the United Kingdom to give her lecture, which was titled Diaspora.

In a special event for Marist students, faculty, and staff, Associate Customer Success Manager for LinkedIn Emily Frankenberry, shared advice on creating an effective LinkedIn profile.

Frankenberry gave her presentation in two different sessions. She discussed how to build your brand on LinkedIn, effective methods for networking on the platform, and strategies for researching job opportunities. A Q&A followed each presentation and Frankenberry even reviewed some students' LinkedIn profiles with them while she was on campus.

Associate Director for the Employer Experience Desmond Murray helped organize the event.

bet亚洲365欢迎投注职业服务中心带学生们参加了纽约市大都会艺术博物馆的职业洞察活动，以了解更多bet亚洲365欢迎投注在博物馆工作的知识. Students received information about The Met’s renowned internship and entry-level opportunities. 

The afternoon included a panel discussion with Directors of The Met, who shared their tips for breaking into the museum field. After the panel students were able to network with curators, educators, designers, and scientists, during information sessions held throughout the museum.

Free admission to the Met was included in the event registration, so students also enjoyed exploring the exhibits.

More than 40 colleges and universities packed two floors of the Cannavino Library for the annual Graduate School Forum. Students met with admissions representatives to discuss the application process for graduate programs.

Graduate School and Fellowship Advisor Pat Taylor organized the event. 

The Marist College Center for Career Services hosts a Career and Internship Fair midway through each semester. The fair brings more than 50 employers to campus. Some recruiters who attend are looking to hire Marist students and soon to be graduates for full-time jobs, internships, and other opportunities across a variety of majors.

More than 700 students and 60 employers were on hand for the Fall 2018 Career and Internship Fair, which was held in a new location; the Murray Student Center. 47 company representatives were Marist College alumni.

连续两届展会都有一个LinkedIn照相亭，与会者可以在那里免费为他们的LinkedIn个人资料拍摄专业头像. The booth was set up in the back of the Nelly Goletti Theatre and more than 200 students stopped to have their headshot taken.

Employers from six different companies participated Interview Preparation Day. As part of the annual event, students signed up for 30-minute practice interview time slots with recruiters. After each conversation, each student received feedback on their responses and other aspects of interviewing such as body language and how well they marketed themselves.

The event was held during a Fall semester for the first time. Midway through the day, each recruiter attended a networking lunch to give their thoughts on the students they interviewed and on the event itself. Employers who participated in the event included Marist alumni Zach Quarles '16, Coordinator of Facilities Security & Intelligence Analytics at the NBA, and Richard Nass '92, Director of Automotive Sales at Entercom, formerly known as CBS Radio.

Representatives from Enterprise, IBM and New York Life also came to campus to conduct mock interviews.

The inaugural Meet The Firms Event took place on Wednesday, September 12, in the Murray Student Center. Recruiters and alumni came to campus to recruit and connect with potential job and internship candidates from Marist College. Firms who participated in this event represent private firms, public companies, and government agencies. 这次活动为学生们提供了一个机会，让他们更多地了解自己所学领域的职业，并为未来的就业机会与公司建立关系. The firms present at the event were:
