May 9, 2010I’m pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Business Admin w/ a concentration in Marketing and a minor in Advertising. My guidance counselor at the community college I’m transferring from hasn’t been very helpful with answering this question. I want to know what I can look forward to AFTER I get a degree. I don’t want to be an Administrative Assistant forever (my current job). I know I want to work in the Marketing/ Advertising field, but I’m not sure what role I want to play in a particular company? Need options…. : D
Also… I’m not looking to stay with my job for too much longer, and I work for a law firm and there is no marketing department for me to help out in (but thank you for the first comment).
Horaayy..there are 2 comment(s) for me so far ;)
Well, I don’t know exactly how many job titles are in the marketing field, but I have some recommendations for you. Since you are an administrative assistant, ask your marketing department what positions are there in your company. Then if your company allows, you can work on some projects within the marketing department to see if it’s something you REALLY want to pursue.
This is something my Manager says she’s willing to do. I’m a HR Assistant and I don’t want to stay here forever either. My interest is in Marketing/Advertising, too. The advice above is what I’m planning to do.
If you need to know the officer positions/job titles, among others, there is Advertising or Marketing Mgr, Asst. Advertising or Marketing Mgr., Advertising or Marketing Director, AVP for Advertising or Marketing Division, VP for Advertising or Marketing Div. You can also be an Advertising/Marketing consultant. There is a career path in Advertising and Marketing job.
