What advice would you give to people who would like to work in this particular field?
Not everyone can be an influencer or director so dig deeper and look at all the opportunities the industry has to offer. Find out about different careers in each field, the skill sets needed and what jobs are emerging. The more you know about the industry and the field you are in, the more you’ll be able to identify potential opportunities. And once you find a job you are interested in applying for? Research about it. There is nothing that impresses a potential employer more than someone who has true knowledge and understanding of the industry, company, and role.
