Inspiring videos from former YIB students

 We are delighted that 2 of our recent YIB students have shared videos talking about their placement experience. These are inspiring for younger year students who are setting out on their journey to secure a prize placement position.

Maria Micu has just graduated from Royal Holloway with a degree in BSc Management with Human Resources and since Graduation has started in HR with the firm Interpath Advisory. During her time at Royal Holloway Maria undertook a placement year in the Recruitment sector with Hays. Maria has been a very active supporter of Year in Business, as a Student Ambassador at Open Days and Applicant visit Days and as a YIB Mentor supporting 2nd years seeking their own placement positions.

In the video Maria talks about the role she undertook on placement at Hays working with the financial markets department and the fact that she was taken seriously, given responsibility and appreciated for what she accomplished. She talks of the support available to students from Royal Holloway's business department when they are seeking their placement and when out on placement. Listen to more of what Maria says about her placement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzTt_PWw-dY

Madeleine Stonehouse is studying BSc Management with Marketing at Royal Holloway and undertook a marketing placement year at Ecovis. As a marketing assistant she has developed her skills in content creation, social media marketing and website optimisation, building on the skills she had learnt as part of her university degree through practical experience in the workplace.

Maddy talks about one benefit of working in a smaller company being that she gets to regularly talk to members of the entire firm, everyone from Partners to Managers to Associates and to other members of the business support team meaning that every day is different.  Listen more to what Maddy says about her placement: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7227251827266719746
