As a student at Seton Hall Jessica majored in broadcast, visual and interactive media, with a concentration in TV production. Jessica was actively involved on campus with Pirate TV, Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, National Society of Collegiate Scholars and as a DA her sophomore year and RA her junior and senior years. Already soaring to success as a recent SHU grad Jessica Wolk is “All That”.
Her Campus (HC): What do you miss most about Seton Hall?
Jessica Wolk (JW): I miss being so close to my friends! I am still in the area, it is nowhere as close to living in the same residence hall as my friends. Something I never thought I would miss is The Green. I live in an apartment in downtown Jersey City, which has no yard or grass. I miss being able to walk to The Green and hang out for hours.
HC: What were your favorite, now throwback, Nickelodeon shows as a kid?
JW: CatDog, Rugrats, Rocko’s Modern Life and The Amanda Show.
HC: What inspired you to intern for Nickelodeon?
JW: My first internship was at MTV2. I loved the vibe at Viacom but knew it was important to show diversity on my resume. So I went to NBC and interned at Saturday Night Live. After a very trying semester I was determined to get my foot back in the door at Viacom and ended up at Nickelodeon.
HC: What was the most rewarding part of interning for Nickelodeon?
JW: Meeting such great people. I spent most of my time transcribing, so I took the opportunity to network and learn about the many different positions for the channel.
HC: How did the internship at Nickelodeon lead to your current job?
JW: My internship at Nick absolutely contributed to my current job because it helped get my foot back into the Viacom door. After my Nick internship, I transitioned to an internship with MTV2 and then was hired full time as a production associate at MTV/MTV2 in the production management department.
This or That
HC: The Caf or Commuter Caf?
JW: Commuter Caf! Only because I had $400 Pirate Bucks from being an RA.
HC: Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks from Pirate’s Cove?
JW: Dunkin’ Donuts
HC: Main floor or quiet floors of The Lib?
JW: Main floor
HC: Going to NYC or Hoboken on the weekends?
JW: Hoboken! I commute into NYC every day and like to avoid it when I can. Plus Hoboken is cheaper and friendlier.
