'What is Marketing?' Guide - a Resource for Anyone Interested in Marketing (1 Viewer)

[stazi]

Many people simply don't understand what marketing actually is, or what they can do with a marketing major.

I have attached a guide that I have produced to help with these issues.

I have had problems uploading attachments, so to make the guide available faster, you can download it from the following link:

EDIT: make sure to leave feedback/suggestions, so that I can improve the guide

Wow Stas this guide is excellent. So easy to understand and provides a great insight into all the career opportunities with marketing. I found it very easy to associate with everything with all the real life examples you used. Like you I am very interested in a career in brand management. The extensive process you went through and ur impressive work credentials you held to get into p&g has really inspired me.
Like many others i was sucked into the whole accounting cadetship thing with a big4 but it was boring as shit and i coodnt take it so i left.
i really coodn care less that they pay for ur uni degree and an accounting qualification coz i really believe in doing stuff u enjoy.
I really want to work in a place like P&G under their internship as you are. Congrats on that btw i heard how tough it was.
I have excellent work credentials but havnt done much at uni. What do p&g seem to look for/value the most in their interns? ie marks/charity stuff etc?
Thanks for the guide once again!

Thanks for the feedback.

I just came from a christmas lunch where I had about 10 drinks so my mind isn't that clear, but my vague response is that no, they dont really care about marks. They care a bit about charity, but basically they are looking for a leader who can inspire, and who has delivered results in the past for various companies.

I can help you with the P&G process, and for other marketing internships, but unfortunately I do charge a fee for this. However, I have been quite successful: one of my clients just got a job with AC Nielsen, which is a very hard company to get into for marketing research.

Typical marketer - always trying to sell something :rofl:

Thanks stazi but I've gotten into 3 extremely large companies otherwise I would definately pay for some top notch advice. But thanks. I have confidence in my abilities, I don't fully believe in coaching. All I can do is try my best if i get it i get it if not whatever.
