Thank you so much for this video! My decision deadline is in less than 24 hours so I really needed this 😂

[@Claribelove]

Ahh!! Good luck!!

[@emmapile8770]

thank you for this! i am stuck because i graduated with a communications degree for undergrad and i feel like i don’t have all the skills exactly for journalism. however school is expensive. i wasn’t sure if i should just go for the jobs and try or go to grad school first

[@Claribelove]

I'd say go for the jobs! Get anything you can (a paid internship, freelance work etc) and get experience there! If you feel like you want to get into something more specific after a year or two of experience see what your options are :) hope this helps!

Claribel, your videos have been SO helpful. I’m a rising senior at an HBCU, I’m interning at a radio station, and I’ve been trying to see what my next steps in my career should be. I’d love to be able to connect with you via Zoom or LinkedIn!

[@Claribelove]

Hi Joshua! So glad I could help! Which HBCU? And add me on LinkedIn: Claribel Rivas

@@Claribelove OMG thanks for the quick reply! I'll be graduating next spring from Prairie View A&M University, right outside of Houston. I’m a student-athete so that’s been a pretty big time constraint, but I'm trying to put myself in position for success for either grad school or the job market. Just added you on Linkedin! 👍🏾

[@aaliyahd3108]

Are you hoping to get a permanent position where you're interning or are you using that to build your resume to make you more competitive?

[@Claribelove]

Yes definitely! I love the place I’m working at right now.

[@WCBguy1]

I’m actually getting my masters degree paid for (thank god) so I’m definitely considering Syracuse!
