I am Maria, a passionate marketer student at Rome Business School. I have lived in Madrid, Dublin, and Rome, which ignited my curiosity and love for exploring different cultures. Currently pursuing a master’s degree in Marketing and Sales, I am thrilled to share that I have started an internship as an IT/ES/PT Prime Marketing intern at Amazon. I am excited to contribute to the success of such a renowned company and further enhance my skills in the field.
Prior to my master’s degree, I pursued a BA in Global Business, undertaking a double degree program at Universidad Pontificia de Comillas ICADE from September 2018 to June 2020, followed by Dublin City University from September 2020 to June 2022. I gained valuable work experience through two internships, which provided practical insights into the business world. Additionally, I have developed proficiency in English, and French, enabling effective communication in diverse environments.
During my master, I delved into advanced marketing concepts, honing my strategic thinking and analytical skills. Through company meetings and workshops, I gained practical experience and developed a network of professionals. I have also been dedicated to expanding my linguistic repertoire by actively learning Italian.
My post-master’s degree journey is set to be an exciting phase of professional growth. Armed with a solid academic foundation and practical experience, I am eager to make a positive impact in the marketing and sales landscape.
Studying the master’s degree in Marketing & Sales at Rome Business School equipped me with crucial skills for success in the field. I developed a deep understanding of consumer behavior, market analysis, strategic planning, and effective communication. Moving forward, I aim to further refine my digital marketing skills, including data analytics and social media management, to stay ahead in today’s digital landscape. Additionally, honing my problem-solving abilities, fostering creativity, and embracing a continuous learning mindset are essential for navigating the ever-changing world of work and delivering innovative marketing solutions.
I chose to join Rome Business School for several compelling reasons. Firstly, the international nature of the school appealed to me, as it provided a diverse and multicultural learning environment that enriched my educational experience. Additionally, the master’s program offered unique opportunities for direct engagement with prominent companies, including esteemed brands like Ferrari, Saint Laurent and AMEX. These interactions allowed me to gain insights into industry practices and build valuable connections.
The career acceleration process provided by Rome Business School was instrumental in helping me secure my current position at Amazon. The school’s employment report highlighted the success of its graduates, further reinforcing the program’s effectiveness in launching successful careers.
The master’s program at Rome Business School also played a pivotal role in my skill development. Both hard skills, such as analytical abilities and strategic thinking, and soft skills, including communication and leadership, were cultivated through various initiatives such as workshops, bootcamps, and career fairs. Additionally, the opportunity to learn Italian through the school’s language lessons added an extra dimension to my cultural and professional growth.
In summary, Rome Business School offered a comprehensive package of international exposure, company meetings, career support, skill development, language lessons, and practical experiences. These aspects collectively contributed to my professional development and preparedness for the competitive job market.
I aspire to focus on strategic marketing and sales initiatives. I am keen on leveraging my skills in market analysis, consumer behavior, and brand management to develop impactful campaigns and drive business growth. Additionally, I am determined to enhance my digital marketing proficiency, particularly in areas such as data analytics and social media strategy, to stay ahead in today’s dynamic landscape. Ultimately, my career goal is to progress into a leadership role in the marketing field, where I can shape and execute innovative strategies, foster strong customer relationships, and contribute to the long-term success of organizations.
Build a strong professional network. Attend company meetings, connect with professionals on platforms like LinkedIn, and participate in career fairs. A robust network can provide valuable insights, referrals, and potential job opportunities.
Gain practical experience. Seek internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer opportunities related to your field of interest. These experiences provide hands-on learning, showcase your abilities, and make you more marketable to employers.
Continuously learn and adapt. Take advantage of workshops and certifications to enhance your skill set. I also highly recommend taking the opportunity to learn a new language, such as Italian if you don’t already speak it, while studying at RBS. This will make a difference to your job search and will multiply your chances of finding a job.
