I Got Hired: Lucy

Posted on: 23 October 2025 by Richard Finch in Class of 2024

Lucy is a Class of 2024 Communication and Media graduate who now works as a Marketing Executive at Market Location.

How did you hear about your role?

Indeed! I was looking all over the internet for jobs post-grad and I found it really difficult, but going off the job description and the want for growth & development in the business...I applied based off this!

How did you get to where you are now?

The recruitment process for my job was an online process until the interview, looking into to my previous experience, my range of skills with software etc! I have grown and developed my skills far more than ever before now working at Market Location!

I undertook internships in my final year of university and had a part-time job which allowed me to adapt working skills. I also took part in the SOTA300 module for work experience at The Tung Auditorium which allowed me to showcase my skills from my degree in the workplace.

All of this helped towards my post-grad job opportunity. In my studies I always knew I wanted to go into a creative area like Marketing and content creation, and whilst there are many challenges and hurdles to get into the sector, I am so glad for I gained more experience from my course to be able to direct me into the field.

Your favourite experience in your current role?

Forming copywriting and content for a range of different businesses in different sectors - finance, apprenticeship schemes, consultancies, cleaning, training, communications. Being able to attend a B2B event in June to form internal content for the business was really good.

The most challenging part of your graduate journey?

I did find it a struggle to find a job in the career path I wanted to go down, it is a very competitive market but keep pushing and being proactive and you will get there!

What's your #1 piece of advice for future grads?

Avoid the trap of comparison! Everyone is one a different journey after university, so focus on your own path and pursue unapologetically!
