Hi. I would like to know the perspective of those already working as I am seeking to resume my career in marketing. How can i reassure the recruiters that I am truly ok with an entry level job? I have an MBA, in my earlier career I had 4 managerial jobs abroad in country X, then in country Y I pursued non profit projects and used social media for that. Also I have a few gaps due to personal circumstances. And now in UK, had some jobs but nothing truly outstanding. Any advice? Thanks a lot.

It's hard to communicate that without an actual call or email from a recruiter, but my advice would be to put it into a cover letter along with your application. Communicate your career History and why you're ok going back to entry level. Their biggest concern will be that you're a flight risk after 1-2 years, so you'll need to objection handle that

I convinced them (and myself) why I wanted the job: I’m interested in the role because it’s an opportunity to grow in this area. Find reasons you would be great in the role and how the role would be great for you.

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.
