Caroline Ambrose \u201819<\/strong><\/p>\n

Title:<\/strong>\u00a0Production\u00a0Assistant,\u00a0All In with Chris Hayes<\/em><\/p>\n

Organization Name:<\/strong>\u00a0MSNBC<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. In one sentence, what does your job entail?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I manage the show’s social media accounts, create clips to publish online, and coordinate the show’s on-air graphics.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. What planned and unplanned events connected you to your industry and your first employer after Holy Cross? How did you learn\/decide it was a good fit for you? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the summer before\u00a0my senior year at Holy Cross, I landed an internship at NBC Nightly News through an HC alumna who was a senior digital producer there at the time. I had always been interested in digital media, and I found that I really enjoyed the intersection of social media and journalism. I loved how each day offered a new and exciting opportunity to tell a story. I also loved the collaborative\u00a0and supportive environment that NBC News fostered.<\/p>\n

After my internship, I stayed in contact with HR and some of the people I worked with at NBC News, and I\u00a0 leveraged those connections to interview for the position that I have now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. What were you involved in when you were on campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writer’s Workshop, Study Abroad, Digital Transgender Archive, Admissions Senior Interviewer\/Greeter, Class Gift Committee<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an English major, I knew I wanted to pursue a career where I could exercise\u00a0my creativity and fulfill my interest in story-telling. This left me with a lot of options, but it also helped narrow down what I did NOT want to do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think my liberal arts education at Holy Cross encouraged me to approach the unfamiliar with openness. As a Production Assistant, I’ve had to learn a lot of new skills on the job, and I think HC taught me how to be comfortable with tackling those new challenges head on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. What advice do you have for students on campus today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take advantage\u00a0of the resources the Career Center has to offer! I had the counselors look over all of my cover letters and resumes, and scheduled plenty of mock interviews with them throughout my time at HC (including when I was abroad).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
