Careers in Marketing
Marketing is a vital necessity not only for business firms, but is also performed by governments, educational, religious, social services, and nonprofit organizations or institutions. Marketing provides a great number and variety of job opportunities available to you no matter which career track you decide to follow.
There are different career tracks in marketing that you can follow. You can find many opportunities in marketing in the following categories:
Market Research
Brand Management
Advertising
Promotions
Public Relations
Marketing often appeals to not only creative thinkers, but also numbers-minded statisticians. While many jobs in marketing are appealing, keep in mind that you must be willing to work long hours and not mind working evenings and / or weekends. It was reported that in the year 2000 38% of advertising, public relations, and marketing managers worked an average of 50 hours per week. You must be able to work well under pressure and thrive off meeting deadlines and goals that are set. In some positions substantial travel is not uncommon.
