Hello all! I have 15 years experience in consumer goods account management and am interested in consumer packaged goods (food, candy, beverage). Can anyone offer insights as to this switch. Overall, the main core skills are the same however i am finding many company’s are “requiring experience” for job consideration.

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.
