I really would like to be working in the marketing department for a multi national company . However I only have a Bachelor of Arts and my experience is mainly administrative. How can I break into a marketing job without settling for a low pay because I got to pay for education loan and my own rent.

I like marketing because I feel that I can relate to people and I would like to grow in my communication skills by interacting more with people in my career.
I dislike deskbound job

Most people find their jobs by networking, personal referrals, grip & grin face to face meetings. So I'd say find a professional organization and start networking.

I would recommend getting very specific with your search. First of all, where do you want to live? Once you figure that out (or if you like where you are) then figure out which companies fit what you want in that area. Then I would research in to who works in what departments and do a little Google research and figure out what you can about the inner workings, the specific people who can get you hired there, etc. Find ways to meet them in non-spammy or stalkerish ways.

Consider the company you want to work for your first client and what you are marketing to them is yourself! :-)

Hope this helps!

Effective marketing starts with an understanding of fulfilling other's need, from the bottom up. And, understanding other's needs, and wants, comes from the ability to ask effective, probing questions that will naturally lead the prospect to making the decision for your product/service.

I don't know what type of marketing you're speaking of, however, the closer you can start to where the action is - customer interaction - the more you'll understand marketing concepts and ideaology, therby being more valuable in the marketing department.

I started as a down-the-street salesman selling overhead projector systems. After several upward moves through the management ranks, moved into Director of U.S. Marketing for a large, international corporation. My point is that an understanding of the wants, needs gathered through understanding actual customer requirements led to my understanding of the overall marketing process and being able to be of higher service to my company and customers.

I would advise that you set specific goals for what you want to earn, where you want to live, how you will lie your life, et al, and with specific time frames to be achieved. Read, learn and absorb all that you can, talk to as many people in the sales and marketing profession as you can, and most importantly, continue to give gratitude to God for His walking with you.

Best of success!

Excellent post. If this advice is taken, it will be easier for the original poster to understand how to make himself/herself attractive to a marketing firm.

Now a days marketing plays an important roll in every business field. Marketing is good job. It gives more knowledge about product. Marketing is nothing but the advertised the product. Talent is very necessary for every salesman to market the product. Marketing is foundation for all successful business.
