Jigna Tailor, graduated 2015, BA (Hons) Advertising and Marketing Communications

Jigna Tailor spent a year on placement at the company鈥檚 UK headquarters during her Advertising and Marketing Communications course at the 天美传媒, earning high praise and the tag of 鈥榤ost intelligent person鈥� they have come across.

Through her monitoring of job board usage, Jigna saved the company over 拢100,000, and a further 拢11,000 with the implementation of an intranet.

鈥淚鈥檓 pretty pleased with how it鈥檚 all gone and all the achievements and experience I鈥檝e got out of it,鈥� said Jigna.

鈥淚t was a really good experience that helped me learn about work etiquette and what an office environment is like. I came back [for her third year studies] wiser.

鈥淭he team at Randstad were really supportive and tolerant with all my questions! I was very grateful for that.鈥�

As well as helping Jigna on her way to graduating, the success of the sandwich year earned her recognition in a national award.

Jigna was Highly Commended in the Commercial Impact Award at the Student Employee of the Year Awards 2015. To top that off, she fended off 600 other students to win the regional award for the same category.

鈥淪he has since claimed her dream job in the centre of London, starting her role at recruitment firm Goodman Masson just a fortnight after graduating.鈥�

But it鈥檚 not just her own prospects that have been boosted by her time at Bedfordshire; she鈥檚 also opened doors for her fellow students.

鈥淚 was put in charge of creating a link between Randstad and the 天美传媒,鈥� she explained. 鈥淥ne of the ways in which we did that was to create a marketing academy.

鈥淚t鈥檚 definitely opened up their [Randstad鈥檚] minds to the great talent we have at the 天美传媒. They are now trying to hire more people from the 天美传媒 so it鈥檚 opened up more opportunities for students.鈥�
