Welcome Jeff Donaldson, EVP and Director of Account Managment at Elias/Savion Advertising!
Key Points:
There are many benefits to working in a small company because you get to know everyone and there is a strong team-like culture.
When you have a job that you get up in the morning and energizes you, it’s not work.
Everything we do, it’s about telling good stories.
Finding what’s right for you → Look inside yourself and your interests will change over time.
A career is a marathon rather than a sprint.
Get an internship and build your network.
Five tips
- Know yourself
- Build a network
- Be ready to sacrifice
- It’s about storytelling
- Build trust and confidence
