Part 4 of the ProGrad journey – The work
Working for ProGrad has been such a great experience and learning curve for me. Let me tell you, you don’t stop learning after you finish university! There are actually so many things I overlooked entering the business world. But I am now greatful that I have had the chance to experience them in variety.
I have been at ProGrad a month now and I look forward to continue developing my skills and take on more responsibility.
Have you recently started a full time job from university and would like to share your experiences? I would love to hear them! You can start a discussion on our Facebook fan page or email me directly at nicola@prograd.com.au.
Stay tuned to find out what happens next!
So you’re a graduate who want to be in Marketing?
As a recent graduate, competition to get into your desired career path can be tough. When competition is thick and desire is strong, graduates usually start at the bottom of a company and work their way up. This usually involves admin, coffee runs, etc.
But have you thought that there may be alternative ways to start your Marketing career than just doing the coffee runs? Have you considered business to business sales?
A business to business sales role allows a graduate to deal directly with large names in the business. This can give you many advantages and it is also a great way to really get to know the ins and outs of the business world and the company that you are working for. All in all business to business sales is a great way to kick start your career!
ProGrad specialises in placing graduates into business to business sales roles in a whole variety of sectors. To find out more visit our website, www.prograd.com.au or contact us directly on (02) 8235 8300
