Gladys Gonzales graduated from Herzing's Business Management program in September, 2019 and was hired as an Accounts Payable Clerk at Richcraft Homes Ltd.

Gladys Gonzales was already very well educated when she arrived in Canada from the Philippines. She had a university degree plus several years of work experience as a care-giver and domestic helper.

But she was looking for something more. When her elderly client passed away, she decided to return to school and earn a Canadian diploma, so she would have better career options here in Ottawa.

Gladys enrolled in the Business Management program at Herzing College, and 12 months later, landed her first job as an Accounts Payable Clerk with Richcraft Homes Ltd - one of Ottawa's largest and most successful home building companies.

What does it take to get promoted into an office manager role? Some people spend years in administrative support jobs, but can't seem to make the transition into management.

Experience is definitely a key factor in landing a leadership position—but it's not the only factor. Business managers need a specific skillset to effectively run an office, manage a team of support staff, and help the company meet its goals.

Whether you're just starting out in business, or already have admin experience, you'll need to build this skillset to break into management.

Marketing is a career that spans virtually every industry and area of interest. From finance to fine arts—organizations of all types and sizes need marketing professionals to connect with audiences, develop and promote new products and services, raise money, and stay ahead of competitors.
