Advice for College Graduates: Listen, Learn & Develop Your Own Style

Today’s StanPoint is contributed by Ellyn Small, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Steinreich Communications’ New Jersey office
I’m often asked what’s the one piece of advice you would give your college graduate self?

I am a firm believer that one of the greatest assets in your career will be the people that you work with. Some of your best and most successful placements will come from ideas shared with your colleagues during everyday conversations. So, my advice…

LISTEN to everyone no matter what level they are. How do they approach a story idea, press release, etc.?

You can LEARN something from each and every one of them.

Take the best from each and DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLE. Infuse your creativity, personality, and own it!
