My Experience at Enterprise
During the introduction of my first year at John Hampden
Sixth Form, I had to dive straight into sorting out an activity for personal
social development week. 4 Days,
straight after our summer exams, to complete something productive and relevant
to our future course at University.
After covering Marketing throughout my Business Studies AS course, I
developed a key interest into its shear importance with modern-day businesses
(and my 15 mark exam essays). Considering
my choice of university course is German with business studies, I felt it would
be ideal to obtain work experience in my favourite business field. After some Google browsing and website
reviewing, I found Enterprise Marketing to be the perfect place to
contact. With Karen’s experience with
working in Germany and developing a fluency in their language, as well as
Andrew currently being at University, I was inspired to get my work placement
sorted immediately with them. Naturally,
with Karen’s goodwill and keen interest to help others out through work
experience, I found myself to be accepted for the required dates with all forms
filled out in under a week.
Exams were finished, revision was over and work experience
was waiting in the wings. I was nervous
yet somewhat excited to both be away from exams and to have first hand
experience at the Enterprise Marketing firm.
As the days went by and the week progressed, I found myself presented
with brand new experiences each day.
From understanding the contents of marketing plans, to being toured
around a major printing company – Spot On.
It was this variety of events that truly defined the value of work
experience and the importance of spending time in different fields. Even minor details such as learning about
SWOT analysis and how to professionally interact with clients, have all
combined together to prove the importance of my time with Karen and
Andrew.
After reviewing my personal social development week with my
school teachers and friends, it became clear that my experience was something
to be admired. When listening to what
others had done with their time, it merely strengthened my overall satisfaction
with Enterprise Marketing Solutions.
With my friend Jack revealing he just browsed the PC on BBC Sport for
the majority of his time at his work placement; and Usman explaining his shear
disappointment with the lack of activities during his week, I realised just how
grateful I was to spend my time with such amazing and helpful people.
My thanks go directly to the supreme team of Andrew and
Karen, for accommodating me for a week in both June and August, and delivering
a host of tasks and objectives that made up one incredible experience at
Enterprise Marketing Solutions. I have
learnt so much in terms of practical business skills and knowledge that will
only benefit me in both the working environment and with my university
application. You truly are superstars
and I wish you the best of luck with the future of your business and everything
else outside of that. I can only
recommend you continue to take on work experience placements, so others can
live the same experience which I was so fortunate to receive.
