What led me to choose my current job: I knew I wanted to work in media in a large agency after several internships in the industry throughout college. Horizon impressed me with their great success and industry awards, as well as their focus on company culture. I had great conversations with the HR team throughout the interview process and felt that they were truly invested in helping me find the right position with the company, which I greatly appreciated.

Advice for current Fordham students: Don’t panic if you don’t find a job right away after graduation! The media industry is always changing and new opportunities pop up every day. Keep in contact with recruiters and HR reps at different agencies- they may remember you when a position pops up!
