  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It is great to actually see things like media plans etc in practise and not just learn about them in a class room. Johnson and Johnson marketing is not just marketing however it is more brand management so you really feel part of something.
