Major: Airport Management
Year of Graduation: 2000
Current Position: Noise Program Coordinator - Metropolitan Airports Commission
Hometown: Fargo, North Dakota

Completed an internship during my junior year with the Metropolitan Airports Commission. They had a job opening in the same department after my graduation and hired me full time.

Working in a challenging industry that is always changing.

My education helped me develop a basic knowledge of the aviation management industry, helped me secure an aviation internship and prepared me for job interviews and public speaking responsibilities.

Successfully complete an internship in aviation. Develop your public speaking and presentation skills because at some point in your career you will need to use them. Have someone proofread your cover letter, resume and job application. Prepare for job interviews by researching the company and the position. Be prepared to tell a prospective employer what you can bring to their organization and why they should hire you over other applicants. Try to keep your GPA up, a bad GPA may show a hiring manager a lack of motivation or dedication.
