"Where the Sidewalk Ends" One College Graduate Decides to Hit the Ground Running

Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 12, 2006 --(PR.com)-- As the summer parties rage and the college coeds prepare to head back to school, one Fort Lauderdale local has her eye on the prize. Heather McCormack, a recent (June) graduate of The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, tells students how to ensure a bright future upon graduation. “It’s never too early to start researching jobs and networking. You also want to get your foot in the door with an internship. Some are paid, some are not, but it’s a great way to make the transition from student to young professional.”

How does she know this? Well, Heather just landed a job as Media Manager at Successful Images in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, not even two months after graduating. “Go after what you want. Beat down the door! This is one time in your life where you have to be assertive. Enthusiasm is the key. You’re literally selling yourself, so show them what you’ve got!” She certainly has done just that. With more than 5 job offers within weeks, she says her drive and ambition led her to the perfect job.

Successful Images is a full service production and media agency that is currently expanding into advertising and public relations, which made Heather a perfect candidate. “Never give up. College is a sacrifice for most. You don’t eat. You don’t sleep. I waited tables, worked at a movie theater and the mall to get through school, but it was all worth it.” For more information about Heather’s resources for job hunting and internship opportunities, or about Successful Images, send an email to dixiedesigngal21@yahoo.com, or call 954-467-7200.
