#WeAreMarjon – Chris

“In my third year at Marjon, I began looking for jobs in the hope that something might catch my eye, and it did! So while I was frantically writing my dissertation, I was also updating my CV and filling in applications. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the job, but the charity offered me a volunteer opportunity, which I took. After all, experience really is key!

“I began sometime in April, and my passion and determination were recognised. I was offered the job I originally applied for on the spot! If there’s one thing I took away from Marjon, particularly from the amazing lecturers, it was believing in yourself and being confident in your abilities. I used this to negotiate getting a management position, which I am still in more than two years on. 💼

“During this time, I have been supported with self-development and using my skills to develop others, while gaining relevant experience for future opportunities. I’d particularly like to thank my lecturers for all their support and advice.”
