After two long years of being the editor-in-chief for The Informer, the new editors caught up with the busy life of a graduate to get the inside scoop of what alumni life is really like.

Ben Cohn recently graduated from the University of Hartford this past May and moved back to the motherland, New Jersey.

Cohn just secured a position at a public relations firm in the very sought after New York City.

This new position gives Cohn many new responsibilities, some that he wasn’t used to doing at The Informer.

Some of his new responsibilities include writing press releases, media alerts and op-ed pieces on behalf of clients that Cohn works for.

Just got offered a job in the city!

Cohn stressed that working for Informer has not only opened doors for him in his life but also has given him so much experience in the work field.

By writing weekly op-eds for The Informer, it’s made his transition into the professional work field much smoother.

By working at The Informer, Cohn also expressed how much he learned by working with so many people.

For many reasons, this experience is highly appealing to those hiring younger recently graduated students.

When asked what Cohn’s favorite op-ed piece he recently wrote was, he explained that he had written an article that talks about Social Security and how in the year 2033, the money that goes into it through taxes from paychecks won’t be able to be returned.

The article focused on the struggle of American taxes and whether or not Social Security will help us in the future, or if that money is just getting thrown away.

Some of Cohn’s articles have even been featured in the Daily News, New York Times and even the New York Post.

But, not everything has been easy for Cohn, before being accepted to this position he struggled waiting for a job opportunity.

Cohn stated, “After I graduate, I applied to every company possible in the public relations and advertising field in the tri-state area so there was never a specific company that I was targeting. After a stressful month of interviews, I finally got a job offer and I accepted it right away.”

Many students struggle with finding a position after college, but Cohn’s approach of waiting and being hopeful helped him find a job that suited him best.

The Informer staff would like to congratulate Ben Cohn on his huge success.
