Bonus Episode 1 Season 1: Network Your Way Into Your First Job

Professor and The Comms Major co-host Wahiba Chair recently invited Vancouver communicator Kelsea Arbour to speak to her communication capstone class (WORK 490) at University Canada West. Not long ago, Kelsea was a student herself at Kwantlen Polytechnic University's PR program. Now she's a Communications Specialist at FortisBC.

What got her there? After applying to over 100 jobs post-graduation, it was a connection that unexpectedly led to her first job in communications. Her biggest takeaway from her job search? Spend less time sending resumes and more time networking. 

Since being a guest speaker, Kelsea has been promoted to Communications Insights Advisor at Fortis BC.
