HARRISONBURG, Va. - Kevin Freiberger (SMAD - Interactive Media '07) knew his services would be in demand by the industry. Little did he know his new employer would claim to need "a few more Kevins" within a few short months of his starting work.

Freiberger ended up at Fleishman-Hillard Digital in Washington, D.C. Last week, he and Brian Batchelder (Talent Development for FH-Digital) came back to talk to SMAD students about careers and to give advice on job searches, interviewing, resumes, cover letters and networking.
