STUDENT STORY
Changing location,
industry & function

Karin Andersson
Swedish
Account Manager,
Havas SO
Masters in International
Marketing
Class of 2018
Karin made the “triple jump” when she changed
location, industry, and function following her
masters at Hult.
What change did you make?
I worked as a financial advisor for seven years in
Sweden before I came to Hult. I was longing to
work in a more creative industry and role. After
graduating, I landed a job as an assistant account
executive for a PR & communications agency
in London.
“My goal was to make a move from my
job as a corporate management assistant
at Time Warner Media in Italy to work
within the business area somewhere
else in Europe. That is exactly where I
am today: I got a job a few days after
graduation as a Lead Advisor for Tesla in
Amsterdam, looking after the European,
Middle Eastern, and African markets.”

Masters in International Business
Class of 2014
How did Hult help you make the triple jump?
The Career Development team was very
supportive. We assessed my strengths and
development areas, went through my background,
and looked at creative industries that I could
potentially work in. They also created mock
interviews and helped me with my resume. I was
then introduced to Havas SO at a Hult career fair
in London, where I work today.
EXPERT ADVICE
Making the triple jump
A “triple jump” is when you change country, industry, and function at the
same time. Achieving it requires great effort and dedication from the outset.
Identify your development areas that will enable you to make the switch.
Create your unique value proposition and highlight your transferable skills.
Utilize your Targeted Job Search Plan (constructed with the help of the
Career Development team) to justify the “why” for the jump. Network with
connections and alumni in your target function/industry for relevant insights.
