in your classes you can read on a text book what goes into marketing plan all
you want but until
you are actually dealing with a client and figuring out what they want
it's not textbook ABC on how it goes
we're trying to get them some real-world experience as it relates to marketing strategies
one option is to go out and find a real life client and they went to these clients
and asked what do you need us to do what kinda marketing
projects do you have on the docket that you can't potentially afford to do yourself
and you want some outside help
I'm definitely a team person
I love working with other people and it was really
good to work on an actual case that
impacted something than just an assignment feeling
that pressure and knowing that the decisions we make actually affect this company.
Group projects are always difficult that something to realize coming into
it's not always easy thing to work with people who have different skill sets or
maybe the same skill sets and your trying
a lot of different things accomplished and so that's always a difficult issue
sometimes students get frustrated with all of the group projects we have them do and yet they
don't understand always
that it is the interdynamics of groups and playing
if you will in a safe environment that will help them how to be good stewards
of workplace scenarios when they are in the marketplace so I believe that really
does set us apart and employers tell us so.
the business professors have been nothing but helpful for me
throughout my four years especially this last year with looking for jobs they all
gave me a list of contacts
of former Bethel Alumni or people that they know in the industry
who to talk to and who to get in touch with and how to go about
process. Business is a lot of networking and meeting people
and I love meeting people and just even being a bit
a business student here at Bethel I have met a lot of awesome people and it's really been
helpful in making connections for future jobs and internships
marketing affects everything, marketing affects our faith, marketing effects each
other
you know the way we talk about ourself the way the position things matters
so for me the greatest joys when I can see them getting that and having the aha
moments of saying
Wow this fits into everything and here's how I can make a difference in this
world
they don't just teach it but they live it out and they interact with the students
well
almost in a discipleship way, teach students how to
live this out. It's something that you should take advantage of and just jump in.
