Student testimonial from previous Industry Spotlight with Creative Agencies event:

"The CMS Industry Spotlight Event was instrumental in helping me land my summer internship at Sid Lee. Listening to the presentations and speaking with representatives during the networking session allowed me to gain valuable insight, not only into the agency industry as a whole, but also into Sid Lee's unique philosophy and culture. These insights helped me confirm the right fit, tailor my application project, and excel in my interview. If you're interested in agency life, the Industry Spotlight Event is where it begins!" Luis Fabricio Serrano, Marketing student at JMSB

"The Industry Spotlight on Creative Agencies event allowed me to discover companies in Montreal that usually are not presented in your usual business events. As a Marketing major, this is essential to me, since the business world does not operate just on logistics, but creativity as well. Now informed of these companies and opportunities, I am able to have a wider perspective on the job opportunities available to me." - Paula Dallo Lopez, President of JMMA - Marketing student at JMSB

This event has been coordinated by John Molson School of Business Career Management Services (CMS).
