“At the end of limnology professor Klotz
had us do a mock interview. That really
helped because I had never done a
professional interview and most of the
advice he gave us was true and really
helped.”

Regional Medical Hospital, which helped
me get my first job as a lab technician.

me land this job after 6 months.”

“Professors impact you a lot. I had a
favorite professor that I took every class
he taught. I leaned so much from him. It
also is really important to get out in your
field to prepare you for life out of
college. Try to do as many internships as
you can, it will help you with experience

“My public speaking class and my

successful in the business world.”
“My communication skills are definitely
my best takeaway from SUNY Cortland.

overall curriculum for the COM degree

“Take every internship you can handle. Work for free and work hard. I wouldn't say it's ONLY
about who you know, but a reference goes a long way, so make sure you have several.”
“Ask the question: Who am I? College gave you the foundation of forming a sense of identity.
Take those experiences and constantly reflect. Ask yourself: How can I continue to grow and
develop purpose with my life?”
“Get involved and step out of your comfort zone. Classes are great for getting the basics of
what you want to do, but real-life experiences are what will prepare a college student for
what comes next (and it looks better on a resume). Cortland offers clubs of various shapes
and sizes that can be fun, and any extra involvement you do outside of class is worth it.
Before you graduate, push to work as an intern somewhere. It's an invaluable experience,
you'll meet contacts you can use for future reference and plenty of them even pay you.”

“Being a part of the Cortland NYPIRG
chapter taught me the way that laws and
bills work in Albany.” “All the leadership organizations I belonged
to really helped me to develop as a leader
and become a professional.”
“Take advantage of all the opportunities that are presented in college! Whether it be an
internship, study abroad program, and elective credit, do it all!”
“Don't be afraid to start at the bottom. Take any job you can in your field in the beginning
and the better stuff will come later, you just need to work for it and earn it. Don't get
discouraged if you don't succeed right away, you will get there, just make a plan of where you
want to end up and stick to it.”

“Do not be afraid to take the leap and move somewhere new, different, or not in your
original life plan. Countless times people would bring up the lack of jobs in education or
how their brother, cousin, etc... still did not have a job teaching in New York/Long Island.
The truth is there are PLENTY of jobs in education out there, you just need to be willing to
step out of your "bubble" and go do it. Did I expect to become a teacher in Florida, no way,
but I am so thankful I bought myself a one way ticket and took the opportunity given to
me. I'm not someone who is sitting, waiting, and doing next to nothing to try and become a
teacher in NY/LI. I'm getting fantastic experience and loving every moment of it. About
95% of the people telling you, "You won't get a job", "Getting a job is too hard", are the
same people who have no intention of leaving their "bubble" or adapting their "life plan".
The job market is tough, but those jobs are out there if you are willing to look. Never feel
like you are failing, keep your head up, and breathe. It always gets better.”
