WORK EXPERIENCE.

For my work experience I worked in a company called SPELLMAN AND WALKER which deals with outdoor advertising. My job there was to work with the IT, production and the marketing departments as I wanted to do some engineering as well as business.
For the first two days I worked at the workshop where all the printing and designing happens. I was given the opportunity to design a poster and learned how to use Photoshop and other designing software successfully. In addition to this, I also worked with the production unit and learned how to operate the printing machines manually.
The last two days I went out for field work with the marketing department. We went to meet clients and gave them suggestions as to how and where they should put up their advertising materials to successfully increase their company’s brand name. I learned how to interact with clients in a professional manner and how to convince them to incorporate our ideas into their marketing strategies. Eventually, my supervisor allowed me to talk to more clients alone, which I did effectively.
This work experience taught me things I did not know about myself. I learned that I have a great amount of self-discipline which helped me plan my work days out with minimal time wastage. In addition to this, I became more confident when talking to older people and those in high ranks in the organisation and as the days progressed I felt less and less intimidated by them.
I am grateful that I got to work at SPELLMAN AND WALKER because I got hands-on experiences of how the world of IT engineering and marketing operate.
