Trainee Marketing Executive Review

I could've not expected a better placement experience. From day one I felt welcomed and supported throughout. I not only learnt about marketing but about the industry as a whole, they made stepped out of my comfort zone and pushed me to give the most out of my skills.

Everyone in the team has been very supportive and has contributed to my personal and professional development in many ways.

From day one, I've felt secure and supported by not only my colleagues but my superiors. They all provided assistance when needed and never made up excuses or leave it to my own will even during busy days. Every couple of months, I had short chats with my supervisor to ensure I was on the right track and my workload was the correct one and in case of having any concerns or difficulties, they were all addressed on time and efficiently.

It will all become gradually busier as time passed by. Hospitality is a very dynamic and fast-changing industry on the day to day basis, which sometimes meant more active and hectic days.

In the beginning, I had to deliver small tasks which started becoming bigger within a few weeks. As soon as I felt ready to take more on board, I was given more responsibilities until I was project manager of different simultaneous activities.

Thanks to my role I've improved my copywriting skills in English as my second language. Every day I spent in the office I felt more creative and more passionate about what I was doing. I have dealt with deadlines and pressure in an efficient manner and overcome some fears. I have definitely found my career path within the wide tourism and hospitality industry and I endeavour to continue developing my career in this field in the years to come. I could not be more grateful for this experience.

One thing I love about the office environment is how everyone is on the same page and at the same level. Their horizontal approach towards the employees is admirable and indeed makes your job much easier.

Everything run smoothly since the first contact. The HR department was always in hand to support the process and my experience.

Throughout the placement, I had the opportunity to attend different exhibitions and educational workshops or talks delivered by industry professionals. I was never denied a chance to develop my self further, and I was even trained by colleagues in different aspect of the company eg. software and the mice and leisure segments to name a few. The team constantly share exciting articles, ted talks or industry trends, that can be of interest for the rest of the team.

I was lucky enough to be offered a permanent position after my placement.

Through the months, there was always a friendly atmosphere in and out of the office. As well as engaging in outdoor activities such a team sport, social events and team-building opportunities, I also contributed to charity work.

It's London, so I've had to learn how to budget and maintain a frugal attitude.

The area had a good balance between a corporate environment and a thriving bar scene.

Yes, the company has a charity partner who organised fundraising events which allowed me to combine phylanthropology and networking.
