Per all the reading I have done it appears that I would be best suited for either an account executive role with an advertising agency or as a business conultant. I am currently a project manager with a construction company and have a degree in economics and marketing. How do I go about getting a job with and advertising agency or a consulting firm?

Why don't you start your own project management consulting company, or go work for a small company doing project management consulting.\n\nThis will allow you to utilize your own PM skills, as well as get into the marketing and business side.  Depending on your marketing strategy you could even get into some advertising stuff.\n\nIf you wanted, you could also try and move into managing more business or marketing focused projects for clients - again leveraging your PM skills.

Your success in approaching them directly would depend on your qualification. There is a lot of competition for creative jobs, and finding one online is just about impossible. Try and hunt down some contacts you might have in an ad agency - that seems to be the best way in. \n\nOf course, you'll need to do your homework. There are many sites specific to the advertising industry. Do your research, and floor them on your first meeting.

What are your prospects of getting any job, or a job that you have in your sights?\n\nThere is no reason why you shouldn't get an appropriate job, it is merely a matter of you knowing what job it is you are after and persisting until you get it...any little jobs you do on the way there should support your main aim...i.e. give you experience that fleshes out your academic skills.

Marketing is very sought after in the business field.  Every time I turn around, job requirements list experience in marketing as a major plus.  Try look at the better business bureau website to see if any complaints have been made against the company you work for.  Google the company name and see if anything negative shows up.  Ask then for a job description of that the duties are for the position they are hiring.  That should help answer any questions you have.

Case studies of work your agency has executed for other clients is always effective. Hopefully your case study will highlight work for a company closely related to your target.\n\nBusinesses are very interested in ROI - Return On Investment. Therefore, present metrics you've used to track previous campaigns, as well as the "win" your client realized.\n\nAs with all advertising, building a brand is important. Therefore, try to market your company in ways that highlight your brand attributes.\n\nRemember that in your case, you have at least two target audiences: future clients and future employees.

If you have either business experience or if you were considering double majoring (or maybe even minoring) in a business or management field, you should be able to land some mid-management job in corporate America somewhere.\nThe other thing you must realize is that alot of jobs are not degree specific. They want to see you got an education and they want you to be able to tell them how the skills you acquired through education and experience makes you a good fit for their team. What company could not benefit from someone who has training in organizational communication? You could probably find a job in a semmingly non-related field if you can just "sell" the skills you learned as being applicable to the position in which you are applying.\nMaybe the more appropraite question would be: what do you want to do? And can I find a way to either directly or indirectly make the skills I learn in the course of getting this degree applicable to what I want to do.

To be in PR you'll need experience--marketing is great, but you have no experience with press releases or ANYTHING required with PR.\n\nTry interning at a PR firm for a little while. The experience will be great, even if you don't get paid of it. You'll get to know the field. Right now if you went into the field, you wouldn't do so well. \n\nMost of the PR jobs that are open right now REQUIRE a business degree of some sort AND 2+ years of PR experience.

I think your best bet for a good wage right now is to look toward one of the larger consulting firms.  They are always trying to recruit fresh talent out of school.  Often times they will be willing to help put you through an MBA as well.  My advice would be to put a solid resume together and try to get audience with companies like Accenture, Bearing Point, Cap Gemini, IBM BCS, Serco, KPMG etc... and get a position as a junior consultant or analyst (start out around 50k) and work your way up.  It's pretty easy to make Senior Consultant within 4 or 5 years if you're a hard worker (around 120k) then after that you can stick with the company and move into management or go off and become an independent consultant.

Dear, "Account Manager" is here not related with commercial things.\n\nIn advertising industry, every advertising agency has many cos. with it for which it makes ad and all.\n\nIn Advertising industry these clients are known as Accounts and being an Account manager you have to maintain all possible activities and transactions related to this account.\n\nYou will be a bridge between the Accoun (client co. like LG) and your advertising agency. Your creative people, copy writers will need to understand the co. its working style, product nd all to make an ad, you need to make them understand about it all by meeting with that co. in advance.\n\nAfter the prelim satge, it will be your duty to coordinate in between the project and providing mutual concent at each level either it is related to creativity or money trasactions afterward as fee.\n\nSo go ahead.. it is a very good profile as advertising industry is rising.

There are many charity and not-for-profit organizations out there that have marketing, advertising and other related administration positions. It can be tough getting a job with one but if you start by volunteering for a while and get to know the people in the hiring/HR departments (and let them know you want a full time position) they will keep you in mind when a job opens up. Just think of something that you'd love to do - help animals, kids, etc, and start volunteering with that group.

You need this if you do not have any experience.\n\nIf you click on minootoo(it is in blue). You will see mine, I as rule berry it in the summary. I avoid calling it Objective or Aim or summery. I use it as 1St paragraph.\n\nIf you do not have any work experience you want to have different objectives made up for different types of opening. One with very general and broad objective, for general use.\n\nYou are using the computer so I am hoping you will have different objective in different files and you will merge the objective to resume and match them with advertisement requirement. Or you may need to create new objective to match job requirement of the advertiser.

Don't look for a job. Offer your services as a finance advisor at a price or retainership. There are large number of companies looking for such people. Send letters to corporates giving details of your experience and achievements as well as stating what you can do for them. Also advertise yourself in the classified sections for some time. ones you have got one or two clients then your network automaticaly will start increasing from word of mouth.
