Need some suggestions

Hi, my name is Mehdi and I just graduated from a community college
with a two year degree in business administration. I would like to
get into the field of marketing, and I need some help on how to go
about this. I would appreciate any tips or suggestions from anyone.
Thanks

Mehdi,

Typically a 2-year degree isn't going to go far in marketing. A
four-year degree seems to be a minimum. You might try the web site of
the American Marketing Association (www.marketingpower.com) for their
career guidance and information. Best of luck!

Marketing is quite a large field. It covers advertising, public relations,
sales presentations, total image management, and so forth. Tell us what in
marketing interests you and perhaps we can be of more help. And because
marketing is almost always a creative job, it is best that you're interested
in doing the job to get the best results.

Or you could take the road less travelled, get an English degree and
fall ass over tea kettle into the industry like I did. Complete and
total accident.

Did you want to work with a corporate company or alone?

Marketers come from diverse backgrounds.
Consider taking an aministrative gig with an event promotions company,
or working for a CMP (certified meeting planner). See if you can
negotiate for additional schooling tuition reimbursement or go through a
meeting/ event planners course. This will all give you more
opportunities to expand into the promotional aspect of marketing.

How Badly Do you want it?
