Career advice from recently placed Events & Marketing Assistant, Charlotte Edwards

Are you new to the industry, looking to get a foot in the door or wanting to know more about what Major Players can do for you? Well why not hear it from one of our success stories. We placed Charlotte as a Marketing Assistant on the events team with The Association of Financial Advisors after she bagged some experience on a work experience placement.

Not got time for a video? Check out the main points below…

How did you get into the industry?
“I studied event management when I was at uni so I've known for a while that I wanted to do it. I did a placement in my third year of uni which I got through my dad ( he runs an events company) and then when I graduated Major Players got me a job temping at AIFA and it turned into a permanent role."

Advice
“Experience is the most important thing; whether it's catering at events or internships, experience is vital and there are so many events out there to get involved in - weddings, corporate dinner etc.”

Graduate tips
“The best tip I could offer grads is to take any interview that you are offered - even if you're not sure about the role, it's all valuable experience. Make sure that you fire you're CV out to as many companies as possible too to make sure that you are really expanding your options."
