What does it actually take to build a successful career in marketing, and what do most students learn too late?

In this episode of The Career Starter Show, Sarah-Jane Martin (Managing Partner, Chief Talent Officer and Associate General Counsel at Sprott Inc) shares the lessons she learned the hard way. 

 S.J. (Sarah-Jane) talks about how her thinking about creativity, data, and decision-making evolved, what she wishes she’d known earlier in her career, and where students commonly misjudge what employers value.

We also dig into interview advice for early-career candidates, including how to demonstrate judgment, curiosity, and business thinking (not just skills), and how to stand out without trying to sound “perfect.” 

If you’re preparing for marketing, business, or strategy roles, this episode will help you think like a hiring manager.
