After an unnecessarily long and agonizing, thirty-something hour plane ride from my hometown Zagreb in Croatia, I began my journey in New Zealand. 10 years later and still in Auckland, I find myself as a third year university student.
I'm finishing off my Bachelor of Business with a double major in advertising and finance at AUT. I'm often asked how I settled on advertising, to which I think the reply would be it sort of settled on me. I went after what I was good at and once you find you're good at something you sort of naturally start to enjoy it. As for the finance side of things, I'm still working that out! Job-wise, I've been lucky enough to land a marketing manager role at GradConnection NZ as can be seen. This all began after scanning through my inbox one day and noticing an email from GC team regarding a new position. After a overly lengthy cover letter and abnormal levels of hope, I got a call back for an phone interview that, with my luck of holiday timing, couldn't be taken from sunny California. However, upon my return I took the phone interview and got to the face-to-face stage. Long story short it all had a happy ending and I was offered the job.
Working for Rob and Tim is proving to be an interesting endeavor in which I eagerly await the many challenges thrown my way. The relaxed but productive atmosphere and constant personal growth opportunities are currently topping the favourites list here, but surely more will surface with time. I'm excited for what this year will bring and look forward to hearing from you guys here on the website. Should you need anything do let me know!
Tune in soon.
