鈥淧eople don鈥檛 realize the variety of classes that MCC offers. It鈥檚 a great place to explore different fields and find what you like before moving on to a four-year institution.鈥�听

After MCC, Jensen transferred to Ferris State University where he majored in Public Relations (PR). He said while he was still uncertain of his job path, he knew he was good at writing, talking and connecting with people, and PR seemed like a great choice with endless job opportunities.听听

Jensen tried his hand in sports PR as an intern for the Grand Rapids Griffins hockey team. After graduating from Ferris, he then went to work in agency PR. He said both positions provided valuable experience, but they weren鈥檛 the right fit for him.听听

鈥淒o what you鈥檙e good at and what you love,鈥� Jensen said. 鈥淚 knew I was good at marketing and public relations; I just didn鈥檛 love the things I was marketing for.鈥�听

After this realization, Jensen discovered his dream career at Bethesda Softworks, a video game publisher based in Maryland, with games known around the world.听听
听
鈥淚 found people who worked for Bethesda on LinkedIn and Twitter and followed them, started liking and commenting on their posts, and then sent them my resume. I was thrilled when they contacted me to fly out for an interview,鈥� he said.听听

Shortly thereafter, he began his dream career.听

Now, four years later, Jensen has been promoted from Associate PR Manager to PR Manager and oversees marketing efforts for three different branches of the company in the United States and Europe.

鈥淣othing is unattainable,鈥� Jensen stated. 鈥淲hat I get to do every day doesn鈥檛 even feel like a job because it鈥檚 something I love and I鈥檓 good at.鈥�听
