Marketing Manager Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I'd like a job in a large retail organisation but every time I look on websites they're all specific jobs such as accountant and marketing manager. Do jobs exist for inexperienced people who want to learn, or are these sorts of jobs just for graduates?

I am a freshman at University of Arizona. It is ranked #17 for it's undergraduate marketing program. I am majoring in Marketing with a minor in Sociology. I plan on getting around a 3.5 GPA for undergraduate work and I plan on going on to get an MBA. What other than that is necessary for a job as a Marketing Manager? Are there any just "perfect" internships or other opportunities available to further my chance for success?

I am currently a marketing manager trying to figure out the next step in my career. I have had a lot of experience in marketing communications type activities: creating collateral, press releases, managing trade shows, and promotions. I am wondering what experience I may lack on the quantitative side: managing P&L, managing product lifecycle, product mix, etc. If I am more interested in the creative side of marketing, should I stay in MarCom? Or do Brand Managers deal with both? Is there less growth potential in MarCom - job ads make it seem like an entry level profession making only around $35K.

The marketing manager isn't doing the selling alone- with him is a sales rep and a sales manager and the 3 of us share of goal that this industrial machinery company (the people who would show include the buyer, jr engineer and production manager) will buy our software. So what does marketing manager do specifically in this kind of situation? Thanks a million!

Are these basically the same job. What is the difference? If you are a strategic manager do you become a marketing manager later on?

I'm thinking about becoming a Marketing Manager, but I don't know how I would get to that position. I'm probably going to major in Business Administration, but where do I go from there? Is there an entry level job that you start at before moving on to becoming a Marketing Manager? Also, Is there a difference between these 4 job titles: Advertisement Manager, Advertisement Director, Marketing Manager, or Marketing Director? I'm a little confused. What/how much education would be best for this position? Please help. Any advice is appreciated.

How do i become a marketing manager? do i have to be an assistant then an executive then manager? what other paths could i take considering hypotethically i have a bachelors in management an associates in marketing and an mba also, how long does it typically take before i can become a marketing manager?

In my opinion they did. First the so-called article is filled with links to online universties who must be paying Yahoo a fee. Second the salaries are completely unrealistic for entry level jobs. No college graduate without years of experience is going to land a marketing manager job for $80K. http://education.yahoo.net/degrees/articles/featured_preparing_for_entry_level_jobs.html I like Yahoo, but believe this highly deceptive article is below them.

I am the Marketing Manager of a small franchise. The job position open is for door-to-door marketing, and requires a lot of communication with customers and potential clients regarding the services we offer. Over 99?f our customers speak English, thus our business is based in the English language. I am hiring a team of people, but have many people applying who I do not feel can competently do the job based on their knowledge of the language - they are ESL students at the university and are not fluent in English. Is it wrong for me to not hire these people based on the fact that they are not fluent in English?

I was looking into graduating with a degree in sociology, but I read that it was a "useless" degree. However, I heard it could lead into becoming a marketing/advertising or public relations manager. If I want to become a marketing manager, what do I study in college and what major should i pursue if I decide to just get a minor in sociology? Do I study business, and what field specifically? My school is not very helpful at all. thanks!

Would it be Marketing assistant, Market analyst, or even a Marketing Manager. None of these perhaps. I will have had internships during summer breaks in college but never a full year or more of just working for a company. I am getting ready to go to college for Marketing and am planning to get my MBA, so I was just curious what to expect out of my education when I get out. *I know I asked this in Higher education, but it was supposed to be in the Business section.
