VLOG 60 Days to Graduate
Hey there everyone, my name is TJ Payne and welcome to 60 Days to Graduate. This is the inaugural episode in a series where I bring you through my journey looking for work as a soon-to-be graduate. Together we'll experience ups and downs, highs and lows. I'll keep you up to date with tips, tricks, and best practices I learn along the way, while asking for guidance from people who have already experienced the grind.
This series was made with Western Washington University marketing students in mind, though I'm happy to have everyone and anyone join me in this adventure.
