But IE Business School graduates will face a very competitive environment once they return to the labor market.&#8221; We therefore need to select candidates who not only grasp market insights, but will also be able to learn to use technology to persuade customers of the unique value proposition of the product or service they\u2019re trying to sell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\">You can expect your peers to be creative, tech savvy and analytical, while also being able to communicate their initiatives clearly.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Marketing-yourself-well-how-to-stand-out-as-a-Marketing-Communication-and-Sales-program-candidate-2.jpg\" alt=\"Marketing yourself well: how to stand out as a Marketing, Communication &amp; Sales program candidate\" class=\"wp-image-30463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Marketing-yourself-well-how-to-stand-out-as-a-Marketing-Communication-and-Sales-program-candidate-2.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Marketing-yourself-well-how-to-stand-out-as-a-Marketing-Communication-and-Sales-program-candidate-2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Marketing-yourself-well-how-to-stand-out-as-a-Marketing-Communication-and-Sales-program-candidate-2-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Marketing-yourself-well-how-to-stand-out-as-a-Marketing-Communication-and-Sales-program-candidate-2-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConcerned that you\u2019re not the best in some of these areas?
