It’s a frustrating job market out there for marketing folks, no doubt. When companies have to trim their budgets, marketing positions are often the first to be cut.
You’re on the right track. Here’s my advice for you: ask yourself a) what you’re good at and b) what you really want to do. Then seek out job opportunities that fit either of those criteria – they might not be labeled "marketing" but will give you valuable experience. For instance, I have a writing background and I ended up with a great marketing job in online copywriting. As for SEO, you can learn that on the job — but they’ll be more apt to hire you if you’re trying to learn it on your own. Read a book about SEO, get a site, experiment with it. Good luck!
OF COURSE marketing jobs exist, how do they sell cars and stuff that you DONT NEED in this economic crisis..?
I would check with your college since you recently graduated. The career placement office should be able to help. Another would be your faculty adviser. These people often have contacts within their field of study. Try some of the trade magazines. There are usually jobs advertised in the classified sections. There are also placement agencies or headhunters who may be able to assist you.
