Hi all! I’m exploring entry-level roles in advertising (NYC) and would love any referrals or advice. I have strong transferable skills in project coordination, workflow management, cross-team collaboration, and data analysis from my business administration and case management experience. I’m excited to bring these skills to a fast-paced agency and grow in the field. I would appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you.

My advice is to find a different industry. Advertising is going down the tubes.

How exciting to be exploring a new industry! It seems to me that your skills would match roles such as advertising operations, resourcing, or project management. Usually, large holding companies are your best entry point for those type of roles. Good luck!

You should highlight your project management skills, operations efficiency, finding new ways of working, implementing or executing processes, etc.
