James Goodchild

Motivated and personable graduate with a BSc in Accounting and Finance, keen to start a career in sales and marketing. I have always been drawn to how brands present themselves and connect with people, and I am eager to bring creativity, strong communication skills and a natural enthusiasm for building relationships into a dynamic marketing or sales role. During my degree, I particularly enjoyed my Digital Business and Principles of Marketing module, which developed my understanding of how businesses succeed in the digital world. A core project involved creating and presenting a marketing strategy as part of a team, an experience that not only deepened my knowledge, but also showcased my ability to engage an audience and work collaboratively to deliver results. I also valued my Organisational Behaviour module, which explored how company culture influences motivation and performance. This inspired my final year dissertation, allowing me to combine research with clear, persuasive communication; skills I am keen to apply in a professional sales and marketing environment.
