Before applying to ProGrad Tess had completed a Bachelor of Communucations majoring in Public Relations at university. Tess had worked previously in a junior consultant role within an advertising agency part time and after a few months of travel was ready to settle down into a full time position.

Tess was successful in her ProGrad telephone interview and invited to attend an assessment day later that week. ” I found the ProGrad assessment day fun, relatively straight forward and a little tiring at the end!” After impressing the ProGrad assessors and client partners at the assessment day Tess made it as a successful ProGrad graduate.

Tess was placed by ProGrad into a Sales and Marketing Assisstant position at The Ad Web Agency almost a year ago now. Since then she has attended 4 modules of ProGrad training and has found the courses ” very in-depth, tailored and useful in all aspects of business.”

Tess’s advice for any recent graduate thinking about applying to ProGrad is “Go for it!”
