Alumni.

Alumni are awesome. It’s been only three days and we have met with several agencies full of University of Oregon alumni. The best part about alumni is their honest advice about the advertising industry, moving from Oregon to New York, and the willingness to help you succeed. It is refreshening to know that just a few years ago these alumni were in my shoes, and now they are successful. Some main tips from our alumni that stood out today were: 

1) Don’t jump into the first opportunity if it’s not for you. You’re valuable!

2) Learn excel; more than just highlighting a cell. 

3) Be eager. Be willing to learn. Be excited. 

4) Craft your story.
