Hi,
My name is Piotr and I work as a Media Assistant for Mike Colling and Company. It’s been almost 3 months since I joined the company and must admit it’s made my time.
It all started back in Poland. I had just finished university, having gained my Master’s Degree I thought a lot about which way I should go. I have always been a challenger type who likes to explore new things and most of all make things happen.
It was just a moment, a quick decision – I decided to make London my next destination.
The accession of Poland and 9 others states into European Union in 2004 opened innumerable opportunities for cultural and professional exchange. I realized it would be very precious to learn more from a country that has been so strong and doing so well for many years. I knew that new experiences gained in England would give me a broader understanding of English culture and its market place and they’d enable me to spread the horizons and face something new.
I started from the very beginning. Came to London with one piece of luggage, without family or friends accompanying me and totally unaware of what will happen. Sounds like a challenging thing and in many ways it was.
With a help of my great friends living in London, I had a place to stay and time to find a job.
I chose media and marketing for a number of reasons. I have always perceived people working in media as a group of friendly, open minded, and creative individuals. The environment of work seemed to give a lot of flexibility with a space for growth, personal development and constant self-improvement.
I will never forget the day of MC&C interview. It was very interesting as I had a chance to find out a lot more about company’s activity. There was an opportunity to meet a few employees and talk a bit more about their work and daily activities. Everything was very unique and remarkable – it sounded very exciting. I realized there was a lot more to learn and discover and got the impression MC&C was great place to work for.
What happened when I got the job, I’ll tell you next week…
