Emma's Career Management Blog

 In today's class, we worked on the ending of our marketing plan. Since we have exams towards the end of the semester, it is time to finish up our main project for this class. We worked on our salary calculating and benchmarking, which is basically estimating our salary based on our preferred career path. This was very interesting to see how much money I could potentially be making in just a couple years. We estimated our salary, as an intern, after 3-5 years of working, and with more than 5 years of working. With this, we could see how our salary would increase over the years, and as you get more and more involved in your position. This of course, is just an estimate, but it is very interesting and gets me excited to progress in my career path and reach some of my career goals.

 Today we focused on the 4 P’s of the marketing mix: Product, Place, Promotion, and Price. We did not get up to price yet, but looking into the other 3 P's got me very excited for my future in marketing. We researched job search channels like Linkedin or connecting with mutuals. We also discussed our resumes and cover letters. Talking about things like job searching can normally be exhausting, but in class today it got me very excited for my future. I am looking forward to interviewing with different companies and corporations to hopefully work for in the near future. 

Working on the marketing plan has been very interesting as we continue and move forward with the project. Each exercise has taught me new things about myself, and my future plans and objectives. Today in class, we worked on the 4 P's, or our marketing mix. We talked about what our "slogan" is or our motto. We looked at other famous people's slogans and quotes about passion, and got inspiration from there. I chose a quote about resilience, as this is one of my most important traits I focus on. The quote I chose reads "If your heart is broken, make art with the pieces." I chose this one because I think it is so important to see the bright side of every situation. Life can get in the way and sometimes knock you down, but its always important to get back up and be strong. This is why I feel that resilience is so important.
