I am what I like to call an early career marketing profession. My experience is limited (some internships, temp jobs). I’m applying for full time marketing jobs. Any advice?

What about marketing to you like specifically? Are there brands you love?

I think internships are a great way to have a foot in the door and prove yourself. But you need to be a hustler and quick to understand what seniors need. We don’t always have time to manage and a lot of interns fall through the cracks because they demand too much energy rather than provide solutions to us.

In my case an intern I didn’t need fell on my lap. She proved herself to be extremely valuable, and I will do everything to hire her. If she was just someone I needed to babysit, it would be different.

All in all, one piece of advice that’s valid for all of your career: make your boss’s life easy. That’s how they end up not being able to live without you. And to understand that, understand what your boss cares about, what they struggle with. Get their trust. Support them.

However, every interview I get asked about the campaigns that I have run.
This is starting to feel like a closed loop. Any ideas are appreciated.

I do create some personal campaigns and do social media content on LinkedIn for my personal profile. That is why I get a high number of interviews but I stumble at the starting line.
