Marketing career help please?
Answer:
While you're in college, get an internship at a local marketing company. The experience you'll get will be invaluable, and help you get job post-college. Take a look through http://www.salary.com for salary info (US$) and general job descriptions. In reality, you will start at the bottom.just like everyone else. After a few years of getting to understand the process and proving you understand the basics, you'll get more opportunities to present ideas.
well - I think that you should do a bit of investigative work as to what marketing is. It is such a broad topic, can include design, pos, brochures, paid for listings, search engine optimisation, promotions, email marketing, direct mail. the list is endless.
I found this definition:
"Marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, services, organizations, and events to create and maintain relationships that will satisfy individual and organizational objectives."
Certainly in the uk, marketing is an incredibly competitive career, so experience is key, as most people have a degree. I would get a degree, and masters if necessary, and then get your foot in the door.
Marketing usually pairs with business. You better do more research to find out exactly what you really want to do and what you are good at. There are lots of topics and information on marketing at http://job.splashine.com and I am not sure if it helps.
