I came across this job going at Leed Uni, as a Marketing Assistant that I feel would be a great opportunity for starting a career in Marketing. Unsure whether I would get it, but I would love the chance to have an interview. I have good A Levels, a design degree as well as work experience in a Marketing Agency so I do feel quietly confident for an interview. The job application was rather tedious, but I now know what to expect. I plan on applying for a few jobs a week.
