So you graduated. What's next? The first step on your career path.
These are exciting times here at 3 Birds Marketing. We’re still a young company, but we’re also hitting our stride. We have a number of very exciting opportunities in front of us. As a result, we’re in growth mode as some of you may have noticed from all of the recent tweets about the positions we are currently looking to fill. I’ve been doing quite a bit of interviewing lately for everything from director level positions to ground floor opportunities. I am becoming rather adept at reviewing a resume quickly to determine whether a candidate possesses the requisite skills and experience.
