On
October 18, 2016 the school of Mass Communication and Journalism hosted a
career fair held in the LBJ Ballroom.
With
more than 50 employers in attendance; many Texas State students were able able
to meet and talk with potential employers in their prospective fields. Whether
it be in TV, radio, or managing the social media for a large organization, this
fair was the place to be.
The
first vendor interviewed was an employer of Enterprise. Known predominately as
a car renting service, this company is great for students seeking to have an
internship dealing with accounting and/or management. The vendor was adamant in
saying that Enterprise was a great place to start your
career before you graduate, “We’re a proven training ground, where every day
you’ll be on the job learning, gaining real-world experience and getting paid.”

The second vendor in attendance was SXSW.
Recognizable by their music festivals and
conferences that celebrate film and music this
was probably the most sought after table throughout the whole fair and thus
questions (and answers) were a little difficult to attain. When speaking over
the large crowd the vendor was very outspoken about what a career with SXSW
could mean to recent graduates. Known predominately for their music festivals,
this company is involved in many things such as: logistics, production,
marketing, advertising, programming, design, and accounting.

The last vendor questioned was iHeart Media. Known
predominately for their radio station, iHeart Radio, iHeart
Media is the leading media and entertainment company
with the largest reach of any digital, radio, outdoor or
television entity in the U.S. or so says the speaker. He was also adamant in
saying, “We are
always
on the lookout for innovative people to help grow our brands”, those brands
including: iHeartMedia, Clear Channel Outdoor, Katz Media Group, Total Traffic
& Weather Network (TTWN), Premiere Networks and RCS. This company is also
