10 Tips to Help You Land Your First Marketing Job

So you want to get into marketing. Perhaps you studied marketing in college and are ready to apply what you’ve learned in the real world. Or you had a different major but have been leaning toward marketing as a career path. Or maybe you’re working in another industry but are seeking the excitement and creativity you can find in marketing.

Truth is, getting your first marketing job (or any job, for that matter) can be a daunting task. At least, that’s how I felt when I was fresh out of college: I had some knowledge but hardly any experience, and I wasn’t sure how to make the leap from student to employee.

After a few failed attempts, I eventually landed my first marketing job as a digital marketing analyst at Conversion Pipeline. Not long after, I moved on to be a digital marketing manager for several startups, including PropertyRoom, Theralogix, and Waggl.

These days, I’m running my own remote content marketing agency. So the tips I’ll be sharing with you here about how to get into marketing are based not only on my own experience starting out, but also on what I look for as someone who now hires for my own team.
