I graduated from college with little idea of what I wanted to do, who I was, or what I was good at. Thought I'm no longer with BBC, I can say with full confidence that my experience there shaped me into the professional that I am today.

The ability to sell is a skill that transcends industry. For a recent graduate, getting as much experience as possible is goal #1, and that was what I had in mind when I started at BBC. What I ended up gaining was much more than that. First of all, I learned that I could sell effectively thanks to the extensive training BBC provides. In a hyper-competitive industry, having strong foundational sales structure is incredibly important, and BBC provides that. The job can be tough, as all sales jobs have highs and lows, but I learned a lot about my ability to persevere and find success in tough situations.

In addition to the sales side of things, I was fortunate enough to earn a corporate trainer position, further bolstering my skillset and giving me the ability to help others realize their potential. I got to work with an incredible group of people from a wide variety of backgrounds. As others have noted, the atmosphere at BBC is incredible and I am fairly certain I'll never find another job with as many fun people.

The bottom line is, if you're willing to put in the effort, you will grow as a professional and find yourself better for it. Whether you stay and work through BBC's very clear advancement structure or head elsewhere, the experience you'll get at BBC will equip you well to handle whatever your career throws at you.
