“College is basically a training ground or a laboratory,” Mozeak said. “It’s the best
place to experiment with any idea you might have. Plus, you have tremendous resources
at your fingertips. It’s a very powerful tool.”
Success, Mozeak also said, isn’t about what others can do for you, but what you can
do for yourself. Mozeak said that many people allow themselves to be held back because
of the bureaucracy and politics that come with interviewing, job hunting, etc.
Outside of his professional life, Mozeak is a devoted member of the Door of Hope
Christian Church in Marion, S.C. and proud husband and father of two children.
“Don’t let it consume you because at the end of the day, when dealing with human
nature, there is always a political aspect because they are people … people have
perceptions, biases and prejudices,” Mozeak said. “But if you can get done what needs to
be done, you can always work through that.”
While studying at FMU, Mozeak was able to attend numerous conferences and work
sessions that allowed him to make professional contacts and strengthen his trade skills.
Attending similar events that are related to your future profession is something that can
and will benefit each and every student, Mozeak said.
“What happens many times with students is they may do well in the classroom but
they don’t have the intangibles or the necessary social skills, and they find themselves in
trouble,” Mozeak said. “These conferences help with all of those things.”
A big difference in a person’s career success is knowing who you are as an individual
and presenting yourself as authentic, Mozeak said.
