This job simulation went into incredibly helpful detail about how to conduct the assigned tasks while still giving enough leeway for me to figure out the specifics myself, which I thought was a really effective way of learning how to professionally communicate in this role. The tasks themselves were also very practical, and I know I'll be taking this experience into my professional.

Reviews
I loved how practical and realistic the simulation felt. It walked me through the full sales process, from researching a client to writing outreach, developing a proposal agenda, and communicating with cross-functional teams. It gave me a clear understanding of how advertising partnerships actually work at a major media company and helped me build skills I can use in real roles.
I liked how realistic the tasks were and how they reflected real client-facing responsibilities. The simulation helped me understand cold outreach, proposal planning, and cross-team collaboration in a practical way. It gave a clear picture of how advertising sales works at a large media company like The New York Times.
