Good Morning

[Hillyer]

Hi,

I have found these forums very informative and helpful so far. I aim to learn from the pro's and help those that need it.

I am 19 years old, a part-time athlete and currently unemployed. I have been looking for decent part-time work for a couple of months and now I am looking to forge contacts on UKBF and broaden my knowledge in marketing.

My goals in life are to row internationally for Great Britain and be self-employed. I would like to be able to retire before I am 65, however I can see myself enjoying work and working until then. I am a driven, target-setting, goal-breaking, well motivated guy. And I am looking forward to getting to know everyone ;]

Welcome to the forums!

I am also 19, and there are a few other regular members who are of similar age!

I notice you mentioned marketing specifically. Are you looking to get into business? or are you just looking for a job?

Good Morning and welcome to UKBF

I'm pretty new here too myself but have found the help and advice from people on here invaluable.

I quoted an important part of your thread, never forget that us older pro's as you call us can also learn a lot from younger, driven, enthusiastic people such as yourself.

What kind of marketing work are you looking for?

Kind regards

Robert Blake

Thank you for the replies.

David Shaw: I am interested in getting to know the business at the moment. I would like a job in marketing, but as I am new to it, I don't expect it will be easy finding anything currently :[

I see that you are interested in design. How is business for you? Are you a student?

Robert Blake: Nice to meet you, sir. I would like to be a marketing consultant one day. I would assume that to successfully move into this area, I would either have to join a company, or wait for several years building knowledge in the field. I have only been here for 24 hours, and I have already learnt far more than I imagined possible. I have been reading threads & replies, and taking notes all day. I have acquired at least 20pages of notes all across marketing by now. It is good fun.

Another reason for joining UKBF was for networking. I am constantly on the lookout for friends and contacts in the business world. I will be getting to know people and strengthening the relationships I make along the way.

I look forward to getting to know both of you! :]

Haha. Thanks for hijacking my introduction with a plug. Very classy

A franchise is a bit out of my budget at the moment.

I think marketing as a job is one of those areas where experience really does matter. Is a college or university course an option? This would probably be the best route into a career in marketing. In scotland, there is "Careers Scotland" who will be able to give you advice on this. I don't know of the name of equivelants in England.

Design business is fair at the moment - I am in the process of creating a range of lower - cost standard design products rather than bespoke. Although I will continue to offer bespoke services.

Yes I am a student as well. Living the busy life!

Hello my friend Happy to see you on the forum.

Had no idea you were 19 David, I'm the same age too.

Hillyer the best advice I can give you in relation to this forum is to soak up all the knowledge you can. I learnt a lot of the fundamental marketing knowledge I have by simply reading posts from people like Steve, Andy and other marketing folk. I then studied further into real-world marketing (none of this crap you see in college/uni qualifications) and got some experience on board.
