"My desire to use the placement opportunity within the Business Management with Industrial Experience programme to work abroad led me to the position of Marketing Consultant at a cashmere garment manufacturer in Mongolia. My work experience really did throw me straight in at the deep end but I managed to use my degree studies to make a useful contribution to marketing the Goyo brand, which led me to a full-time position with the company. I am really enjoying the challenge of working for a young, developing company."
