Fun fact: As early as 18 months old I would memorize and reenact my favorite commercials. At age 2 I asked for a pair of Calvin Klein Jeans. Who knew I would pursue a degree in Advertising?


Given the current state of the economy, I think we are all constantly wondering …will I find a job after graduation? … What can I do now to prepare? … How can I make myself stand out? Last week at PRSSA Sydney Carroll (UGA ’08), with Lockheed Martin, discussed the Communications Leadership Development Program (CLDP), as well as shared with us advice about life after graduation. 

Sydney gave great insight about the culture and environment in corporate public relations compared to an agency. At UGA, she interned with the Edelman Digital Agency, where she worked on a variety of accounts. At Lockheed, the fact that everyone is working toward the same goal provides a level of comfort and even though it’s always the same “client,” every day is different. The pride and ownership she experiences when watching a plane go from the assembly line to the runway is rewarding.
