Marketing fag here.

I can't find any goddamn jobs in marketing. All I can find are idiot door to door Verizon wireless sales jobs labeled as "marketing."

Wtf to do?

>get Google Analytics certified - the answers are on the fucking internet if you copypasta the questions during the test
>follow Liz Ryan on Linkedin - job hunting guru.
>use LinkedIn to find all potential hiring managers for each job posting
>message them on Linkedin (or via direct mail, to their office, to really get their attention) to set up an informational interview - look up that stuff and prepare a good informational interview. People love to talk and provide career advice to young people.
>after the interview, follow up with them either by phone, email, linkedin, or whatever it says on their business card, and ask if they would recommend you to any jobs at his/her company, saying something like "i think you have strong leadership abilities and i'd be honored to work with you".
>look up literally EVERY SINGLE marketing agency within reasonable commuting distance, contact them via email, or look up high-level employees of theirs on LinkedIn.
This should at least get you a lot of informational interviews and expand your network. I got 3 strategic marketing internships and my current job this way and I majored in a bigger faggot major than you.

100% wrong, you are a fucking idiot. The only MBA programs you would get into are shit-tier programs, unless you're going to a top-25 or even top-50 program you're wasting your fucking money. Fucking faggot.

>>692759
This too - you could make a shit ton of money on your own too if you do this well enough and get some small business clients.

If you want a real marketing job, and to be good at marketing, you have to learn how to market yourself first. If you can't even market yourself - the thing you know better than anything - then you're a fucking piece of shit at marketing and you should work at the fucking DMV you faggot
