A session on “Visual Storytelling: Learnings and Challenges” was conducted on March 7, 2024, by the Times School of Media Placement Committee as part of their alumni series. The speaker was Ms. Reeti Agarwal, who studied journalism and mass communication at Bennett University from 2017 to 2020. She shared her experiences and struggles as a working professional and guided mass communication and journalism students.

Agarwal discussed how, as a passionate storyteller, she leveraged her abilities as an artist in photography and animation to develop an outstanding resume that helped her secure internships and a job that she had always desired. She also provided some helpful guidance vital for anyone working as a visual storyteller, such as consuming information in various media, keeping up with rapidly evolving trends, embracing AI rather than resisting it, and, lastly, interacting with others who share similar interests.

Reeti revealed a secret sauce made up of numerous essential elements and gave insightful advice on landing a job. She emphasized the value of networking and visibility, the impact of a solid portfolio, and the effectiveness of cold emailing. Reeti recommended making the most of connections, projecting assurance, and exhibiting dynamic abilities. She also stressed the importance of letting one's CV effectively communicate their qualifications. Combining these techniques can help job seekers stand out in a highly competitive field, improve their chances of success, and position themselves for future accomplishments.
