Graduate case studies
Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.
Sell holidays, create partnerships with local suppliers, create packages, admin activities.
I do sales half of my day, deal with suppliers and work on new partnerships and packages the other half of the day.
I can speak French, English and Italian every day.
Sales
I am passionate about wine and cultures.
Language and cultural skills - negotiation skills
I have done a second masters in Bordeaux in wine Business and Tourism. While studying I gave English support classes to children and was a bilingual baby-sitter. I also occasionally worked as an event steward.
After this master, I did a 6 month internship at Grape Escapes and was offered a job at the end of it.
I see myself as a manager ideally in a job where I can use my language and cultural skills.
The cultural knowledge is so important. It may seem that it is harder to find a job based on language skills and cultural knowledge and to some extend it is true but language and cultural skills are needed in a lot of industries. In our world it is absolutely essential. These skills make you an open-minded and caring person as well as a better human.
