Sales department drives the company’s growth by creating and managing the relationship with customers.

• Business Developers: they identify new markets, a new product or service offerings and new ways of reaching existing markets. Some of the main responsibilities in this job include developing a business strategy, negotiating with clients, hitting KPI and sales targets, creating sales reports, and travelling to meet with clients.
• Account Managers: they take over from the Business Developers after the initial sales or sign-up, maintaining and developing existing client relationship, looking after commercial communications with clients and upselling or cross-selling between these clients.

Other aspects of the job are answering client queries and finding new business opportunities among existing customers.

If you like numbers and finance-related topics, but you are not so passionate about working in a Bank or a Financial Services Company, the Industrial world can be the right choice for you.

You would be part of the Financial Department of a company in which finance is not the core business, but even so, a fundamental part for the company to be working and growing properly.

For more information about the financial world and the different types of jobs, check the Specialized Pathway of Finance in the Professional Guide to Finance.

Within the industrial world, marketing and communications are functions you will find in the majority of companies.

These functional areas play a very important role within the company's activity and performance.

• Marketing: very connected with sales, the marketing department focuses on the promotion of products and services for a tagert market, understanding the company's target customers and their behaviours in order to create, coordinate and implement marketing strategies (product, price, place, promotion). These strategies are generally used and reinforced by a sales team that is in constant contact with potential and current clients/customers in order to attract and retain them.
• Communications: normally the communications department within a company has a broader focus. Although it works hand in hand with areas like marketing and business, it is in charge of handling more than promotion. Communications might be in charge of internal/corporate communications, media relations, events, public image and speaking, and crisis management, amongst others. Their main purpose is managing all communications through a strategic plan that covers many fronts.

For more information about this field, you can also check the Specialized Pathway of Marketing, Sales, and Communication in the Professional Guide to Marketing, Communications & Media.

If you are planning to work in a technological function, the industrial sector could be a good option to be considered.

Big industrial companies are innovating and adapting their structure and processes to be more digital, and for that, they will need tech and digital profiles to join their organizations. Some examples of this trend: today, the plant itself becomes virtual: Solvay, a chemicals company, is in the process of designing a complete digital avatar of its plant in France, while at Safran Aircraft Engines, each physical product has its own digital avatar.

The transition to an industry 4.0 represents a new challenge, a decisive turning point for companies in the sector. It will inevitably generate new needs in purely digital skills, virtualization, and simulation.

The Technology is everywhere and these companies will need expert to support these changes. Let´s have a look on concrete roles you can have:

• Quantitative Analyst at Total (Energy)
• Machine Learning & Medical Imaging Intern at Bayer (Chemicals)
• Digital R&D Intern at ABB (Electrical & Electronic Manufacturing company)

A supply chain is a focus on the core activities within an organisation required to convert raw materials or component parts to finished products or services. It is defined as the entire process of making and selling commercial goods, including every stage from the supply of materials and the manufacture of the goods through to their distribution and sale.

Supply Chain Management is the umbrella term that covers product development, sourcing, production, procurement, logistics and more when it comes to operations in the supply chain. Without it, companies run the risk of reducing its customers, and losing a competitive edge in respective industries.

Successfully managing supply chains is essential to any company hoping to compete. When managed correctly, it can also result in much lower costs, and a faster production cycle.

Project Managers are responsible for the planning, execution and completion of a project, handling all the parts of it, especially scope, schedule, finance, risk, quality and resources.

Project management skills are transferable from one industry to another. The tools and techniques of project management are universal and a good project manager should be able to add value in any environment. However, for some specific industries it can be required to gain also some technical skills, in order to understand better the products and how to manage the planning of the deliveries.

The main responsibilities are:

• Ensure the project meets its objectives
• Negotiate work with the team (hours and resources)
• Manage scope, date and budget
• Manage stakeholder communication
• Visualize and communicate information to the team
• Remove impediments keeping the team from completing their work
• Create a detailed work break down to meet deadlines and goals

Being an active member of a club is a great way to demonstrate your passion for a specific area, so be sure to include it in your CV! Visit the IE Clubs Directory to explore all the clubs available to you (you can search by company sector, function, or role).

Have you ever thought about the possibility of becoming an officer and running the club? This experience will enhance your leadership, communication, and organizational skills!

The IEU LABs are a great alternative to traditional work placements as they are fully-tutored working spaces where you will be able to develop professional projects and work closely with companies and institutions.

It is a great option for students who want a hands-on experience, acquire interdisciplinary knowledge and professional skills since the very beginning of their academic journey and, of course, extend their professional network!

The application is open since your first year at IEU! It normally takes place in November but make sure you don't miss the deadline by checking our Newsletter as well as the following page: ieulabs.ie.edu

Participate in events related to your interests and engage with as many people as possible! You can also include relevant events you’ve attended on your CV. Additionally, keep in mind that attending recruiting events significantly increases your chances of being selected for a position, as it allows you to showcase your soft skills, attitude, and motivation, helping you stand out to potential employers!

Usually, companies look for students in their penultimate year, however, you can try to apply since your first year of University (but remember to check the calendar of Internship Periods with your Academic Office first). These kinds of internships usually last 10/12 weeks and the application process can take place even in the year before (between August and November of the previous year), especially for the biggest firms. 

APPLICATION TIMELINE: STARTING FROM 1 YEAR BEFORE

Usually, these are available for penultimate year students, last-year students, or recent graduates. Many companies publish very good internship opportunities that allow you enter the company and then be hired full-time after a few months. Normally, they don't require a strong previous professional experience, although high motivation and commitment as well as good attitude and soft skills, can be the keys to secure the position.

A regular Internship normally lasts 6 months but can be also extended to 12 months. 

APPLICATION TIMELINE: AT LEAST 3 MONTHS BEFORE

These programs are extremely interesting opportunities that can last 1, 2 or 3 years and they are designed for high potential candidates willing to grow inside the company and reach middle-management/leadership positions in a short period of time. For this reason, the selection process usually is long and very competitive, so you need to be well-prepared for that!

Some of them are rotational programs that allow the person to work in different departments and with different functions (usually 6 months per function/department). Companies usually don't require a strong professional background, however, having some internships or co-curricular experiences related to the field can be a big plus.

Most programs start right after the graduation period (summer or September), but the application process can take place even 1 year before. For this reason, you need to start looking for these opportunities from the 3rd or 4th quarter. of the year before they start. 

APPLICATION TIMELINE: STARTING FROM 1 YEAR BEFORE

Below can find the list of different companies in diversified industries, among others, which offer the graduate programs: https://iegraduateprograms-edu.com/

Once graduated, you can also have the possibility to join a company directly with a full-time position, as a junior (entry level job). For that, you really need to start enriching your CV since the very beginning of your academic journey and demostrate a good knowledge of the field. 

APPLICATION TIMELINE: BASED ON THE COMPANY'S NEEDS. USUALLY, AT LEAST 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE STARTING DATE.

You will find here different job opportunities (internships, graduate programs, entry-level positions), events, competitions, and many more!

First of all, you need to prepare your application package (CV, Cover Letter, LinkedIn Profile) in the best way as possible. Remember that you always need to tailor your CV and the Cover Letter based on the job description of the vacancy you are going to apply for.

We have different resources to help you boost your application materials. Check the Career Development Training (on Blackboard) and, of course, contact your Career Coach!

• Use the IE CV Template (in your Career Development Training)
• Upload the document to VMock for an automatic feedback (try to reach a 75% score). And remember, the CV needs to be maximum one-page long!
• Use the IE Cover Letter Template and watch this webinar. Once it's ready, share with us the document for a final review!
• Boost your LinkedIn profile by checking it through VMock: LinkedIn Optimization. Again, you can always contact us for a final review.
• Attend one of our CV Workshops. Usually hosted every Tuesday, check on IE Connects the availability and register!

Companies can require you to do an aptitude test that you will need to complete online. Aptitude tests can be very different, depending on the company/sector/function. They can be psychometric, numerical, reasoning, language, etc. Make sure to practice before the test:

• JobTestPrep

• Aptitude Tests
• Watch this useful webinar to get more insights about Online Assessments
• You can also do you research online (the web is plenty of aptitude tests!)

Some companies use video interviews for a first screening of the candidates. You will have to answer to some questions by recording yourself through the platform that the company will share with you.

• vMock Elevator Pitch for Video Interviews: this tool helps you practice your minute-long Elevator Pitch and uses AI to give you specific feedback for improvement. Read this guide to learn how to use it and access it through vMock.

The questions in this step can vary depending on how the recruitment process is structured in a company, but usually the topics covered are:

• Overview about the company and the position: make sure you are well prepared!
• Motivation: Why are you interested in the company? Why are you interested in that position?
• Competency-based: to dig into your soft skills and how you applied them in past situations. Make sure you prepare concrete examples of past situations you have experienced in which you have shown and applied your main soft skills (the ones that you mention in the CV need to be very well justified!).
• Technical questions: usually the people working in the HR Department don't have a technical background, however, they can ask some general technical questions related to the job description. Make sure you have fully understood it.
• (If applicable) your willingness to move, your availability to start, and your salary expectations.

Check the following materials to get very well prepared for this step:

• Interview Tips
• Discovering Behavioral, Competency-based and HR Interviews
• Competency-Based Questions Guide
• Remember to use the STAR Method in your answers!

And of course, let us know when you have an HR interview as we can provide you with even more tips!
