Job Responsibilities
I handle assisting with any marketing effort, this makes up
about 80% of my time. I handle all publications that are
designed (designing takes about 30% of my time), updating
existing publications (10%) and researching about our clients,
costs and different media types. The last 20% pf my time is
handling questions and calls from our clients, advisors and back
offices, updating the database, sending emails.

if you want to persure Marketing path then Marketing or related

creative that way. I also enjoy team work

publications.

Lifestyle
The work hours revolve around market (TSX) hours, because our business is based
around that. There is occasional travel for conferences and day courses that can
be taken. We have quarterly staff events and have 2 big ones a year (semi annual
and X mas). The greatest change... the fact that you have people that you can
bounce ides with and you develop a great rapport with your co-workers.

Advice to Jobseekers
Be willing to take something below what you initially want to be able to 'move'
into the position, especially since some industries are harder to get into.
