Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I am responsible for emailing new propsective accounts, sourcing the contacts and searching for new business as well. I also analyse accounts on Salesforce to see what their current spend is, if they have any, and also send out email campaigns based around the product I am pitching to them. I also call customers and encourage them to have a discovery call with Adobe for my Account Executives. I also get involved with presentations at the side as well.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I have become responsible with group projects as well as projects on the side that my manager has provided me with. I have worked alongside the senior director as well as managers, AE's in my team and interns on external projects. I have had the opportunity to manage accounts and contact them, by representing Adobe. I have been given a large amount of responsibility and professionalism I have been required to maintain throughout my year.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Adobe to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Adobe
To be yourself and to make sure the role you are applying for is what you would like a career in, or that you are interested in exploring further. I did a sales role as I wanted to kickstart my sales career, and I have loved every second of it, as well as networking with other departments in the business. I think that any role at Adobe is enjoyable and fun, and you shouldn't think twice about applying.
