Meet Meaghan Parker |
 |
Graduation date: May 2012
Major: Marketing
Current Place of employment: Jack Links Beef Jerky, Minneapolis, MN Retail Account Manager
How did Lake Superior State University help you succeed: Lake State gave me the confidence to succeed! I found this job through LSSU SIFE in Chicago, and what I learned was to never stop trying. I actually called the Jack Link's office 6 times before they gave me an interview.
Your advice to new students: Be persistent, but respectful. Go after what you want and be patient. The food industry is not where I want to end up, I will gradually be back in the fashion world, but I have to succeed here first.
