Victoria Monsul
Victoria Monsul came to Prof Klinkowstein's class last Thursday to share with us some tips on life after graduation. She graduated from Pratt Institute in 2007 with a bachelors of Fine Arts in comm.design and has done of number of things with her life. Like interning at various places and working for places like IMG, Silent Touch Productions, and Mother Industries to name a few. A few tips she gave us were, be authentic. Be yourself, be real show that you are passionate about what you do. Every interview she went to, she got the job, because she is authentic. She shows flexibility, excitement, manners, and that she is an overall interesting person. Victoria also strives on doing things that might be out of your comfort zone. Like meeting random people, and exploring different things. Life is your education and you show live it to the fullest. Another tip was to learn how to fail. Don't focus on the negativity, let it go, push it behind you, learn from it and move forward. "If your not failing everyday, your not setting enough goals." I found her answer to my grad school question interesting. She said that it looks good on your resume and it is a door opener. But in her opinion it isn't that necessary. And for every job postings, the requirement lists that I have seen, they mainly focus on experience. They don't ask what master's degree you have. And if I could get out of being in debt before the age for 50 without going to graduate school then I would take it. Like Victoria said it looks "sexy". Overall I greatly enjoyed her presentation and I am definitely going to visit the WIX lounge when I get a chance. Thanks Victoria!!
