Have you ever been nervous to present? The knowledge that I was about to present to people within the advertising agency made me so anxious. However I pushed through it and presented the best I could. It probably didn’t help that we were presenting first and that they had asked our group questions , but not the other groups. It was interesting to see all the other ideas that the other schools (Tennessee State University and the University of Illinois) came up with and the different approaches that they had. In the end even though we didn’t win, it was a great networking event. The company hosting the event; Omicron Health group sent out a sheet of all the students and people within the industry, so that we all could connect on LinkedIn . Not only that but they gave us all a lesson on how to break into the advertising agency and spoke on some of the difficulties that they faces to reach where they are. Later on in the week we met up with the heads of the company and they gave us amazing feedback and said that they were not going to forget us. They were going to pair us with someone within the agency, to help us break into the industry and to help us career-wise. Not only that but for those within our group that were seniors and graduating, they were going to skip the line of those applying to the company and get first dibs on interviews to get whatever job within the company. For those who were seniors but not graduating till later, we were also getting that opportunity, but also we were going to get a paid summer internship at the company. Below is one of the Instagram ads created for the event.
