\"AmberlyMy name is Amberly Wang<\/a> and I graduated in May 2020 with a Business Administration (Marketing) degree and a minor in Psychology. I have accepted an offer as an Assistant Brand Strategist at Horizon Media.<\/a> I’m excited<\/span> to collaborate with so many smart and creative people, work in a fast-paced agency environment, and learn more about the entertainment industry through the lens of marketing. I also enjoy fueling my curiosity for consumer behavior when researching viewership trends and extracting interesting insights from it!<\/span><\/p>\n

My strategy to land this job was being active on LinkedIn, attending Chapman\u2019s career events, creating my own projects while in quarantine, and reaching out for help. I often scheduled appointments with the Argyros School Career Center<\/a> to practice interviewing, have my resume and LinkedIn reviewed, and to chat about how to best achieve my career goals. For this job in particular, I kept in touch with Chapman alumni and Horizon\u2019s recruiter after they hosted a virtual info session with Chapman.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My advice to anyone looking for a job in this market is to redefine networking. Many people treat networking as purely a ticket to getting an interview, and this intention can only get you so far. Though asking questions about the company and their experience is valuable, I challenge you to go deeper. Beyond their role, they have hobbies, perspectives, and personal stories to share. When you treat networking as a way to build friendships, you\u2019ll find that more people are willing to help long term. As I was job searching, I often wondered how to stand out from the immense competition, especially in the marketing\/advertising industry. This is it! Do your research, ask memorable questions, and <\/span>just be human<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
