tend to procrastinate occasionally.

SELF- REFLECTION
Since I wanted to work in the marketing and sales field, I joined a Marketing
course at Universites des Mascareignes. I want to join the sales force in service
sectors -insurance industry. An internship will prepare me to join the
professional environment, an opportunity to apply my knowledge gained. In
addition, doing an internship is one of my course core requirements. An
internship will allow meet marketing and sales professionals, thus I can build
my contact network. Learning more on listening skills, telephone skills,
interpersonal and negotiating skills will improve my chances to get a job in this
field.
Interpersonal Skills- Effective negotiators have the interpersonal skills to
maintain a good working relationship with those involved in the negotiation.
Negotiators with patience and the ability to persuade others without using
manipulation can maintain a positive atmosphere during a difficult negotiation.
Active Listening- Negotiators have the skills to listen actively to the other party
during the debate. Active listening involves the ability to read body language as
well as verbal communication. It is important to listen to the other party to find
areas for compromise during the meeting. Instead of spending the bulk of the
time in negotiation expounding the virtues of his viewpoint, the skilled
negotiator will spend more time listening to the other party.

I was fond of calculation. Topics covered in Additional-Mathematics include
functions, quadratic equations, differentiation, integration and others. It is more

national or global market.

Name: Sashiraj Ramdhony

Title: Marketing Officer
Company: Orange
1. Tell me about yourself.
As part of my consulting practice, I often help companies recruit product
managers and interaction designers. As a result, I do a lot of interviewing. Ive
talked with a lot of folks who are interested in moving into product management

from a variety of areas. This isnt surprising. There isnt one clear path to
product management. I started as an interaction designer / front-end web
developer. I know others who started in sales or marketing. And of course there
are those who go the MBA route.
2. Tell me about your role on your team, who else you work with, and how
you work with them.
There are no right or wrong answers here. It all depends on the role Im trying
to fill. But again, who you work with most, how you work with them, what
challenges you encounter, who you forget to mention, these all tell me what you
value, where your strengths are, and whether or not you are the right person for
the role.
3. Tell me about how you interact with customers / users?
Now I want to dive into the details. Do you know how to find users or does
someone do that for you? I know that not all companies take advantage of user
research, not everyone has the luxury of usability testing studios, or time to do
in-depth user interviews. I get it. Im not expecting a perfect process. But I do
want to see that customer / user interaction is something that you value.
4. How long have you been in this position?
Ive been maintaining this position for the past eight years and I continue to
share my skills and knowledge for the company.
5. What did you like least about your last job?
"Lack of stability. After three company acquisitions, I had five bosses in three
years. I couldn't take it any longer.
6. What tip can you share with me to help me enter this field?
Showcase leadership skills: Employers are looking for recent graduates who can
demonstrate a level of leadership and common sense. They want to know that
you can be trusted with tasks that call leadership. Are you someone who is
willing to pitch in and help? If yes, carry on.

7. What led you to the marketing field?

If you find you are interested in promotion, branding, selling,
communications, creative design, or research, then you are probably wellsuited to a marketing career.

Conclusion
This assignment has enabled us to get a clearer picture of the
path well take for a job search. It has also developed our selfconfident, since now we know exactly what career path we
opted to take. Initially, when we joined the marketing course,
we were not fully aware of all the job prospects available.
Our project work allowed us to search and discover the other
job options available in the marketing field. We have been able

to contact some professionals in the marketing field. There,

starting a professional contact network. This will be crucial for
our future job search after our internship and graduation is
over.
Our research also allowed us to have a realistic view of the job
market, the demand and supply on the job market in our field.
This module has allowed us to develop our personality. Learning
how to do a proper curriculum vitae and motivation letter has
increased our chances of being called for an interview and
getting the job.
