Q: Marketing jobs?
I'm about to attend my county's votech for marketing,can somone list some high paying jobs in that field? Have any of you climbed that ladder or know someone who did? if so, where did he/she start? and what kind of college would i need to make (if possible) like $100k a year?
A: It really depends on where your job is located. I work in Marketing in Manhattan and $100k is a normal/ attainable salary for a Marketing job at a good firm. You just have to get your foot in the door. My suggestion is to get in with a good firm, no matter what the position. Name recognition is huge! I started out as an Adminstrative Assistant in a really great firm and now 7 years later I am heading up a Marketing team at a top Investment Bank in Manhattan. Best of luck to you!
Q: how to apply for email marketing jobs ? which are the reliable sites ?
i want to do emailing job.for example sending marketing mails to many people.how to appy for such kind of jobs ? and which are the reliable sites ?
A: I have noticed that at http://www.bokrin.com there are marketing/advertising job offers. I am not sure how you would apply for it, maybe just send email and they will inform you what you need to do. If they ask you to send money before starting jobs, it probably would be scam
Q: For marketing jobs, is it easy to change the industry you work in?
I am a recent graduate looking for a marketing job. I have an interview for a marketing assistant role at a bank but I don't want to be working in the financial services industry for my career.
If I work for a bank for the next couple of years - would it be hard to change industry in my next job?
A: It will not be hard i think. But what I can suggest first try to excel your self in an industry whatever bank /financial services or other industry and after a certain period you can understand the scale of your skills and you can measure whether you are capable enough to switch over to other industries or not. Mind that only few people are the fast learners and fast adopters. But try to taste the basic of the marketing the in the career first. May be you are in that few. Best of luck
Q: What are some good entry level-marketing jobs?
Ive been looking for a good entry-level marketing jobs for a while now. Any suggestions in what I could go for or what careers are hot in marketing since I heard its a flooded field?
A: There are many great opportunities in this day and age. I have tried everything from affiliate marketing to online surveys and I learned several things. That all the work you put into those companies doesn't add up to much. I work a full-time job, but I need more to help me with the rising cost of everything. But if you want a real opportunity to make some money here's what you look for in an online company.
1. If you decide to sell a product it has to be in high demand and be very low in cost.
2. You don't want a fly by night company......look for an established business with 5, 10, 20 or 30 years in business.
3. Find a publicly traded company to work for that's on the New York stock exchange.
4. Does the company have growth every year that's it's been in business??? It should or that's not the direction you want to go in
There are incredible opportunities online if you follow these steps.....I also know of a home business and a company with all of these credentials. If interested drop me a line at jheard7607@yahoo.com
Q: Are entry-level marketing jobs worth applying for or is it just a cover for telemarketers or crap work?
I'm a new graduate just starting an MBA program, but working at a crappy Meijer (Wal-Mart competitor) retail job, and wants to apply for entry-level marketing jobs, but how much can I expect to make? And what would an entry-level marketing person do on a daily basis (in general obviously)- can anyone with entry-level marketing firm experience please answer!
A: I have been in sales and marketing for years. Unfortunatly, if you have no sales or marketing experiance it is hard to get in to any thing that is not entry level. Most of the time, entry level is going to be a sales job or telemarketing. If you are selective about where you take these positions you can very easily work your way up to a position that you want to be in. I would say pick out a few companies in your area that you would like to work for, then apply for a position that will make you the most visable. Once you sell yourself to the people you work for you can win yourself into any position that you want. Don't kick yourself in the butt for not getting the position that you want right away. Look at it as an avenue to pursue to get the job that you really want. Hope this is helpful.
Q: Are all Marketing jobs based on commission?
I mean I was always told that Marketing is a salary based job at a minimum of $50,000 dollars and up annually. Now, how come the sales jobs that I'm being offered are commission only and if I don't make a sale. I don't even get paid just for the effort, and not any money at all. These are real jobs but they don't have a set base pay if I don't make a sale.
I have a degree in Marketing to the first response of this question. I'm qualified for a Marketing job.
A: Sales and marketing are two different things. Marketing includes research, advertising, public relations, media relations, possibly some graphic design knowledge and also sales. Jobs vary dramatically by title and duties. In generally, marketing is very difficult to learn "on the job" and requires some level of formal education beyond high school. That said, I don't know where you live, but in the midwest, you would not start at $50,000 right out of college.
The sales jobs that you have been offered are probably mostly cold calling. Learn a bit about the product and then get out there and get rejected a lot. Not necessarily a big learning curve, although it does take a certain type of person and I'm not saying sales is easy or that it doesn't require brains and training. Turnover is usually high in those companies, because it is difficult work. So they pay on commission (although sometimes there will be a base salary also) and they figure, hey if you can't cut it then just walk. No sweat off our backs. For those who are successful, though, the paychecks can be pretty big.
Two different types of work -- although they can overlap. Two different levels of education needed. Two different personality types (IMHO).
Q: Need some advice about marketing jobs?
I've been looking for marketing/advertising jobs online, but no one is replying to my resume. I mean, I've sent at least 10 a day, every day! How can I land this type of job? Does anyone know what major corporation is hiring, other than seek the ads?
A: You need to register with sites like Monster, naukri, timesjobs, etc. Then ur problem will be solved.

Q: If I wanted to be considered for marketing jobs in the media industry, what qualification should I am to get?
Well, Im finding that my English degree and Film Diploma does nothing for me career wise, and I want to work in the creative industries fromthe corporate side. I want to spend a year studying part time to get a marketing qualification, because I think thats a business skill that can be transferred over the arts/media quite well. But I dont know what level/type of qualification would be realistic. I live in the UK btw.
A: I also found that my media and film degree didn't do a huge amount for me career wise so I sympathise! It depends what aspect of marketing you want to go into, but many companies now seem to be after professional qualifications with professional bodies. I have to say I don't know what there is around marketing per say, but you might find something on the internet. For me, I wanted to get into the PR side of marketing and I have joined the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR). This then means that you can put your membership of a professional body on your CV and you can do role specific training and qualifications through them.
Good luck!

Q: If I wanted to be considered for marketing jobs in the media industry, what qualification should I aim to get?
Well, Im finding that my English degree and Film Diploma does nothing for me career wise, and I want to work in the creative industries fromthe corporate side. I want to spend a year studying part time to get a marketing qualification, because I think thats a business skill that can be transferred over the arts/media quite well. But I dont know what level/type of qualification would be realistic. I live in the UK btw.
A: The best qualification you can get is experience.
I run a media company and when employing, the last thing I look at is their qualifications. In order of priority I look at:
- Their skills
- Their experience
- Their actual work, ie. portfolio / showreel
- Their references
Qualifications don't even make it on to the list.
Get an internship and build up some real-world knowledge, contacts & skills, and go from there.
I don't know why I have been given thumbs downs. I'm an employer! Surely my opinion - whatever you may think of it - is valid!
Q: They say marketing jobs are disappearing is that true?
I was told that Marketing jobs are soon going to become obsolete because everything will be on the internet soon and no human interaction is needed. Do you agree?
Also...
What are some GOOD paying marketing jobs?
Ten points to whoeever answers both questions clearly! :)
A: The Internet is changing marketing, and will continue to. But it's quite a leap to go from there to "marketing jobs are becoming obsolete."
The question of whether human interaction is required isn't really relevant. Whether there is or isn't human interaction once someone is on the site, someone had to do the thinking about value proposition, target audience, positioning, etc., and then do some sort of campaign to get that person to the site in the first place.
Some good paying marketing jobs? Brand manager for any national brand would be an obvious place to start. There are also opportunities for people with specialized expertise in web marketing.
Yanno, people said the web was going to mean the death of printing as an industry, yet more pages are printed every year.
The concepts and theory of marketing are here to stay, and aren't changing much. The execution and tactics of marketing are undergoing revolutionary change. Be on top of those trends, and you'll find your way to one of those high-paying jobs.
Good luck,

Q: Does anyone know of any good recruiters for marketing communications jobs in downtown Toronto?
I am looking for a job in marketing communications and would like to contact some top notch recruiters. Does anyone know of anyone who specializes in this area? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
A: I recently just started a sales position in Toronto. I found this position on www.workopolis.com. When i was searching for this job online, i came across a tonne of recruiting companies. Virtually half the job postings on that website are from recruiters.
Simply look for your job on workopolis and you will see a tonne of recruiting companies which you can send them your resumes, tell them what kind of job your looking for, salary expectations, etc. They will then keep your resume on file for any future job postings.
It might be a good idea to go to each of these recruiting company's websites to find out more info on them, for example, to see if they specialize in specific industries.
