I know how to use search engines etc. and I applied for at lesat 4 or 5 jobs on Monster.com yesterday. This afternoon I received two responses via my email. I called both back and neither companies are offering the jobs to non-local applicants. Their job advertisements did not specify this. I feel as though this is going to be a trend. How can I find jobs that will accept and potentially hire applicants who are out of state and looking to move. I do not have the financial base to just move somewhere and then look for a job.

STATS:

DEGREE: Bachelors of Science in Speech and Communication with an option in Communication Studies and a minor in Studio Art, 2007

CURRENT JOB: Business Development Assistant at an engineering firm

LOOKING FOR: BD or Marketing job preferrably in an art or design related firm… also not averse to a HR or Reception

EXPERIENCE: a little over 1 yr. including summer work/internship at a real estate firm during college
P.S.
A good point the first respondent has made. I’m also not against travelling to interview. If I’m confident in myself and my skills, I am willing to drive six hours for an interview, or even take a train. I feel like this also really speaks of a persons character: will work to get something they really want… and I will!

I have a university degree in Computer Science, and have been doing an SEM (Search Engine Marketing) job for the past 3 years, but now I feel somehow bored by it (plus, in the area where I live, the SEM jobs don’t pay that high anyway), and would like to change direction.

I’m thinking of doing something else in the IT world too, but not too sure what to do? I don’t mind doing anything, with the exception of programming (my brain is just not made for it), and web design (I have no artistic talent at all). Looking for something with annual pay range of around K to K. What about QA (Quality Assurance) or networking? Are they good?

Any recommendations? =)

Thanks!

I have experience in finance for 3 years. I have my undergraduate degree in business administration and I majored in marketing. I can not get a marketing job for the life of me. I have tried everything from every local marketing company in my city to every search engine possible. How does one get a job in the marketing or advertisment industry when the companies want 10+ years of experience . I need help?

Are there any marketing jobs in san diego or in california in general? I am a recent graduate and barely can find any.

I use craigslist, careerbuilder/indeed.com, monster.com, yahoo hot jobs, directly go to corporate web sites, but no luck.

It seems like EVERY marketing job is 99% of the time for a "manager", "director", "senior", or some other high position, are there ANY entry-level marketing jobs? I know they are things like marketing analyst, marketing assistant, assistant brand manager, marketing associate/coordinator, etc., but they are barely any.

I am willing to go to other states but it seems like it’s the same thing over and over, garbage entry level jobs flooding job sites that are door-to-door labelled as "marketing", or manager jobs that I’m obviously not qualified for, what am I supposed to do? Is it the economy? This major? Or something else?

I haven’t found any schools in California that I can enroll in an MBA because they all require you work first, average age of entrance is normally 27-28 with 4-6 years of work experience. Unless I do an online degree which I wouldnt want to do.

*Why are there more managerial positions than entry level? What other functions in a business should I look after? I also try product development, PR, communications, etc.

*How can I work for online marketing firms that require things like Search engine marketing experience when I didnt learn that stuff in school? Should I get a certificate in it? Learn it somewhere?

I do not have any certifications but I have some limited knowledge about Search Engine Marketing (SEM) working in a marketing job. I want to learn how to actually get a position where I either sell the services and/or set it up for the business. Also, where do I get the training to do this?
