Hello,

It's been a while since we spoke. I want to let you know that after
nearly three years at the Chicago Tribune, I left there and am now
working at Groupon in advertising sales, getting merchants on board
with Groupon deals. We do have a New York division as well. They love
to hire applicants straight out of college.

Thanks for everything. Let the students know that there are great
places to work after college.

* connect w/ Prof. LSJ and I can fill you in on this dynamic young woman who worked in advertising sales at the Chicago Tribune for 3 years before moving onto Groupon in 2014
