IED Alumni Interview: Marianna Poletti

Published on September 17, 2021

IN A NUTSHELL:

  • IED Milano
  • Art Direction - 2011
  • Founder and CEO at Just Knock

YOU NOW:
After finishing my studies I decided to become a digital entrepreneur to revolutionize the way we find work. In 2014 I created the website justknock.it to allow young people to find jobs by sending their ideas to companies instead of aseptic CVs. To date we have over 80 client companies and more than 120,000 subscribers.

CREATIVITY:
Certainly the method of study proposed by IED has allowed me to learn from the beginning to carry out concrete projects and to transform theory into practice. This has helped me to face my work with a lot of awareness.

IED LOCATIONS: 
I was born and raised in Milan, a city that I love and that is why I decided to study here.

MEMORIES:
The dissertation was one of the highlights of my time at IED. Working as a team on a real project was the culmination of a fantastic experience.

CHALLENGES OF OUR TIMES: 
The biggest challenge is being able to adapt quickly to change with flexibility. In addition, knowing how to use digital is definitely helpful in being able to do your job in the best possible way.

ADVICE: 
I suggest that future IED students get involved with all their passion. To be humble and curious, then all the pieces will come together on their own.
