MSI Spotlight: Jay Holloway

Greetings,

My name is Jay Holloway and I was the Facilitator and a Faculty member for
the MSI@HU from 2002–2010. As an alumnus of Howard, it was very
fulfilling for me to return to my alma mater and help recent graduates
from all over the country embark on a new career in media sales. The
experience of meeting, interacting and following up with top-performing
industry professionals has been an unduplicated opportunity. The intense
training and exposure is more than what any university academic curriculum
could provide otherwise.

I have personally witnessed participants enter the program at various
stages of interest and exposure to media sales. Regardless of their
experience, I coached the vast majority of them through the program,
resulting in increased confidence in their own talents, skills, abilities
and potential. Participants are introduced to the latest trends, tools
and products, but aren’t expected to master them in order to get the job.
They obtain the skills and product knowledge on their new job. In other
words, participants can be successful beyond their imagination if they
like to make money and have these following attributes:

• Good communication skills
• Detail focus
• Ethical
• Goal oriented
• Initiative
• Positive mental attitude
• Resourceful
• Team oriented.

I can confirm that this program has historically provided the serious,
motivated, and disciplined college graduate with a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to successfully enter a career in media sales working with
some of the best media companies in the world!
