How do you get into media buying without experience? Actively looking for a junior media buying position. I've had several final interviews but no luck yet-super competitive!

I would recommend getting certificates in different platforms like Google and Facebook - those definitely stand out on a resume, and they are a great way to prove knowledge without having the experience.

Some agencies have media trainee programs that function as paid internships with the possibility of full time employment upon completion. Otherwise, I would seek referrals as being connected to someone within the agency is likely to play a factor.

Seems like these opportunities are scarce-I’ll keep hunting. Thank you!

Send me a dm if you want, we can chat and see if we have something for you.

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

Working in a large health system as a quality professional WFH. I rarely see anyone else on my team, and when I do present findings I see no changes happening.

I’ve been in healthcare for years but graduated with a masters in last two years and was hoping for something different. I have been applying to so many jobs and not many calls back. Any advice ?
