One of the guests that I chose to write about was Mr. Rony Camille. Mr. Camille is a news director in television broadcasting. During his visit with North Carolina Central University Mass Communications classes, he spoke about taking advantage of career opportunities on campus. He also talked about creating a broadcasting reel and networking with people to establish business relationships. I found these topics particularly interesting
Mr. Camille mentioned taking advantage of the NCCU Campus Echo. The on-campus newspaper. It helped him strengthen his writing skills and helped him in the job market. He felt that working with the Campus Echo was a life-changing experience for him. That experience gave him the opportunity to cover campus events and write a narrative for others to read.
Another experience that he took advantage of was developing a broadcasting reel he could share with future employers and television broadcasting networks. Mr. Camille suggested that a great broadcasting reel is one that captures the attention of hiring managers or news directors of a potential employer within the first five minutes. Doing this will help me stand out from other applicants competing for the same position. He acknowledged that competing in the job market is unavoidable. Therefore, it is important that I equip myself with all the necessary skills before I graduate. Including my broadcasting reel in my career portfolio will help me be competitive to gain my first job opportunity. Lastly, Mr. Camille also highlighted the importance of networking. Building relationships with producers is essential because they are the lifeline of a broadcast. He also suggested building relationships with other potential colleagues. I thanked Mr. Camille for visiting with me and my classmates and look forward to future networking opportunities
