MYTH


“Jobs in travel don’t have a great career trajectory”


“I left school at 16 after struggling with the coursework and routine and wanted to get into travel and tourism. I started as a marketing apprentice and worked at Barrhead Travel for eight years, progressing through the


ranks until ultimately overseeing the marketing team as the assistant marketing manager. At If Only, I started as a senior marketing


executive before quickly being promoted to marketing manager. I have been able to visit some fantastic places with my role, like Dubai, the Bahamas, Orlando and New York. We deliver joint multi-channel marketing activity for the world’s biggest and best tour operators, tourist boards, and hoteliers across the world, and that always really excites me. No day is ever the same, and travel is a fantastic product to be working with.” Carly McNaught,


marketing manager, If Only
