If I could go back and give my past self some advise before starting my career, this is what I would say. There's some things that you can only learn through experience, so I have gathered what I have learned over these 2 years in my career and am giving what I think is the most valuable tips I have learned.
Thank you for this! My interview is tomorrow for this exact position and I'm fresh out of college studied International Business and Marketing 😁 this was really helpful!
UPDATE: I GOT THE JOB
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck!
what is your degree in? where did you go if you don’t mind me asking?
Hi can I ask for your email? I'm planning to switch to marketing instead but I am curious as to what it's like. I was wondering if I can ask you for insights or what is it like being in the marketing industry. Thanks
How do you like it so far?
How’s it going?
I am 3 years into a marketing career and just want to say that this advice is so good and relevant! For anyone else who is considering a career in marketing or a similar industry, this advice is very relevant and useful for many corporate careers!
Thank you so much I really appreciate the positive feedback 🥰 I’m glad someone in the field can relate 👍🏼

@Brad Morrison I work in the consumer goods industry. I used to work on soft drinks and beverages and now I’m in Dairy.
I must confess Emily in Paris really got me interested in Marketing. It was more so interesting as I had already been learning to speak French for a very long time. I work as a social media marketing Strategist, my company requires that I am able to speak French and other languages so I am still somehow delusional about being sent to Paris to represent the company so I have my own Paris Marketer experience😄
Ugh thats absolutely amazing! *Fingers crossed* hopefully one day that will come 🥰
Update us if that ever happens :,) praying for you
Yes I agree 100% with the experience part. When I was in college I knew that I wanted to do marketing but I wasn’t sure exactly what route I wanted to take or what kind of job I could even get so during college I did FOUR internships all marketing related and I got those internships because I used what I did in class I legit marketed myself even though I didn’t have much experience but that’s literally what marketing is ..making yourself sound better than what you are lol AND I got a job as a digital ad buyer which I had never done but I used my other marketing skills to show that I understand how to market to all types of people so bottom line is know how to make the experience that you do have relevant to the job position you’re applying for!!
Exactly! Its all about how you present yourself 😊
I'm so invested in this career I should have pursued it a long time ago. But I'm comforted to know that you have started 2 years ago and so I've been in my current career for the last 7 years.
Yes! It's never too late to start, keep doing what you love 😊
this is very helpful! i am currently an junior in high school planning on pursuing marketing and this is great advice going forward
I just finished my degree in marketing and I'm planning to venture into digital marketing. Your tips helped me so much in preparing myself right before I start working. Thank you xx
I'm so glad this helped! Best of luck on your career 😊
Maneshaa Kaur, I also just graduated 🎓 5/19/2021.. how is going for you do far? don't even know were to start..I have a few things.I have wordpress website where I sell construction tools.
Im about to start school again in the fall for Marketing! Im not specific on what kind but this video has really helped me understand!
Just recently finished my marketing diploma in Dec, and I am so lost on what to do afterward. Debating if I want to go into the degree but personally, I want to get out there and get as much experience as I can! These were some great tips :)
Great points. Appreciate the video and perspective you brought to the field.
Thanks for watching!
You're so awesome! This is super helpful and I love your transparency. You go girl!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much :)
Super duper helpful advice! Thanks for this video, it definitely also served as motivation. :)
Of course! So happy I could help, thank you for your support 😊🎉
I just posted one of these! It’s so funny to think about how marketing is seen from non-marketers! Couldn’t agree more on the point that experience is key!
Thank you for this video. This was really informative and helpful. I am straight out of university and looking to break through into my marketing career!
Thank you! So glad you liked it!
Thanks for the tips 🙏❤️. I found them really informative.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m studying business marketing and have about a year left till I graduate. I’m trying to prepare myself as much as I can now. Your videos help so much.
It’s definitely a big change from being in school to working in your career, but I’m sure you are going to love it ☺️ wish you luck in finishing your studies 🎉
Update?
@@BreezyColdHeart it’s going good still! I took a little time off during the summer and I’m about to start classes up again!
@@margaretrangel7223 are you getting an associates or bachelors?
I just started school and have been looking for guidance so thank you!
Of course! Best of luck!!
your advices are very inspiring. thanks for sharing it natalia and iam waiting for more tips from you.
Thank you! Will do!
Loved this video! Very helpful xx
Thank you so much 💕
So my story is interesting. I actually worked for 10 years in healthcare as an X-ray tech. The market for X-ray is so incredibly over saturated it’s ridiculous. So, got frustrated and decided to go back to school just because to see what else is out there. It was hard, not gonna lie, feeling like I’m starting over. Decided to go back to school for HR, just to see where it may take me. I actually just landed a job as a Marketing Coordinator for a Healthcare IT Recruiting Agency. The software I was familiar with so even though I had no marketing experience having that knowledge and experience in healthcare helped me land the job. So needless to say I switched my major to marketing and I’m excited to see where this takes me!
Omg! I am on the same path. I worked as radiotherapy tec for almost 3 years and now I have joined business school to switch to marketing. Good to know that there are other people like me. 😌
Great insights 👏😍 thank you so much for this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing your advice!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this! I'm incoming college and just worrying as I'm afraid to speak in front of people but I will take Marketing course 😭
You got this!
Whoever helped you pick out that sweater color has great style ;)
Oh yeah that person definitely had an eye for color 😉
I have only seen two of your videos and I want to give you props for starting to create content and making it work for you. I work In Healthcare and I’m getting burnt out and I’m looking into Digital marketing. I’ve done research and like what I’m seeing/hearing so far. My actual question is what is the brand and model of the camera you are using? Thanks ahead of time and I wish you success
Hi! Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support. Healthcare is an amazing field but I can imagine that it can be exhausting! To answer your question I use the Canon G7x Mark II 😊
Very good video, really informative thank you 😄
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Really appreciate your work👌
thank you!
I’m graduating with my fashion merchandising and minor in Marketing! Still trying to figure out if I should be a buyer or digital marketing career
There are some really good tips here for those looking to move on.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I do marketing for a company who digitise old media formats (VHS, MiniDV etc), so that whole “non-glamorous marketing” point is so true 😂
I’m glad you can relate haha not every company is going to be glamorous when it comes to marketing 😌
Hi Nat! First of all congrats for the video! Great tips! I am a new follower and want to know about opportunities. Is the market for marketing large in Florida? Are there many job openings?
So relevant and true! Great great tips!
Thanks so much ☺️
Hi nice vid! Good quality content too. What kind of video camera are you using?
Hey! Your video was really informative and I enjoyed learning some new tips too!!
Becoming a Social Media marketer is my goal, can you tell me if a bachelor's in Mass Communication is right?
Thank you for your videos! I have some experience running ads through facebook and google but I want to get certified and land a job. Do you have any recommendations for online classes such as Coursera, or Udemy? I work two jobs now and can only attend online classes.
For me I fell into marketing by Curiosity because I used to be a reseller well still Apple reseller and I found out that eBay and other platforms did not put you in front of more people because your store is not selling a lot so I decided to take it upon myself to figure out how I can get in front of more people. I have created a page on Instagram all about reselling I have got pictures and download apps to come up with my own ads and post them on my page so basically I’ve been doing it on and off for 3 to 4 years now and I find myself buying every book reading every book that’s related to marketing even some sells books just to get more information and not to recently someone had told me you should be in marketing because it’s some thing that you always do in your free time or you’re always coming up with some ideas without even thinking twice about it and you always have other ways seeing something others don’t see or understand. So I decided to take a small course at a juco School and blend all the courses I paid for and books and what I will learn to create something that fits me and stands out
Your video is good....it has a lot of information....thank you.....it feels like a great experienced person talking to you🤩🤩
My pleasure 😊
Hi, loved the video. Any updates on your marketing career?
THANK YOU FOR SHARING WHICH CERTIFICATION WOULD YOU RECOMEND FOR A BEGINER.
I got my undergrad degrees in something other than marketing (slp and psychology), I graduated 6 years ago and have since been working as a special Ed TA. I don’t think I want to go back for grad school in slp and was thinking about a new career in marketing. I too was also thinking about getting a general marketing certificate to get my feet wet in the field to see if it is something that actually interests me. 😊 Do you think I should get a certificate in marketing? Or take a couple marketing classes at a community college to make sure it’s what I want to do?? Does it matter if I get a certificate in marketing from a local community college vs a higher up university??
This was very helpful! Im looking for different career options and this gives a great look on digital marketing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you, and best of luck on your career ☺️
I not good at speaking and some shy can I learn marketing skill but I am really interesting in that
I graduated in December of 2019 with a Bachelors of Marketing and having no experience, am finding it difficult to find a job. Tweaking my resume to add as much skills and maybe experience as I can but it’s so stressful! I never took an internship
Hi! I can completely understand where you are coming from especially during these times it can be really difficult when searching for a job. I would recommend to continue to apply to as many places as possible. And possibly venture into a different field that is still related but maybe not exactly a marketing associate (maybe something in social media, content creation or sales) just so that you can get some sort of experience under your belt so that future employers for a marketing position can see that you have some sort of career experience. I would say that not taking an internship isn't detrimental and many employers can look past that. If you are still concerned about the internship aspect it could still be a possibility to volunteer at a nonprofit doing something related to marketing to get more experience and grow your resume.
@@NataliaRaquel Omg, thank you so much for taking the time out to advise me! I really appreciate it 💕☺️
Same here it’s annoying and I had 3 internships
Do you have any updates? were you able to find a job and how much money did you start out making?
I just got an interview for a Communications Marketing Specialist position, and I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I just graduated from college, and this video popped on my timeline.
Congratulations!! How did it go?
Do you think a masters in Digital Marketing would be a good way to step into the field? Or is it better to get experience instead? I am a double major in psychology and communications with an anthropology minor and I am interested in the marketing field! Love this video by the way!! Subscribed ✨
Hi! I would definitely recommend getting experience first before jumping into your masters. A lot of the time I find that employers will look for experience first than if you have a masters. Later down the line after you have some experience under your belt, I would say to consider getting your masters then 😊 those sound like great majors! Wish you luck in your studies 🥰🎉
I am studying digital marketing and tbh I am just scared that I won't pick up enough knowledge from this online classes. Cannot maintain my focus🙄 Btw love ur videos and love the career path I chose☺️
I completely understand! I was in the same boat, I am much more of a in person and hands-on learner. But I would not stress it too much, there will be plenty of skills that you will pick up in your future jobs, that will grow your knowledge from being in the field 😊 And thank you so much, glad you liked the videos 😁😊
Hi! I just subscribed to your channel and been loving your contents. I’m going to be a Film, TV, and Radio Production student with a Graphic Design Minor. I’m thinking of getting an online degree in marketing or an associate’s degree in it. I honestly don’t know if its a good combination or should I go with advertising instead cuz I don’t know if if theres a connection with these two majors tbh. Would love to hear your opinion abt it. Love love your channel! Hoping for more subscribers ❤️ Well deserved!
Thank you so much for your support and subscribing! I think either a marketing or advertising degree would be beneficial. I think for going into digital marketing I feel that you might get more out of marketing however just because I feel like marketing shows you how to connect with your audience more and that's very big in digital marketing. I hope this helped! Best of luck 🎉
Will I be able to get a career in marketing with a degree in proffesional studies in business management ? I just graduated and leaning towards a field in marketing.
I majored in business marketing and now want to double major. What is the best option if you're both into analytics and creative, but you're more creative. I'm very indecisive at the moment because of the many job opportunities there is in this field. It's a good thing this video popped up!
This is a very late reply but double majoring in graphic design would be a great option!
@@taylor_downing why graphic design?
@@lanajaber806 There's two parts to making good creative - (1) gathering the actual content (pictures, videos, audio) and (2) working with the content to make it ready for consumers to see. Unless you have a team that makes creative for you, you'll need to know a bit of graphic design if you're making advertisements for a company. It would take you a long way.
I currently study digital marketing udacity nanodegree , and I'm kinda lost confused as I feel it's a really really big career with a lot of different careers going on with you like design & data analysis web pages create content writing and so on how to take it easy
it can be a lot but marketing is all about finding a niche that you really like
I literally just graduated 🎓 5/19/2021..I don't even know were to start..I have a few things.I have earned many micro credentials along the way.. All of which are shareable digitally. I also have a w website where I buy and resell construction tools international. I am applying now so I hope for the best.
Best of luck, thats amazing!!
i learn the material throughly then fabricate my experience cause some companys be on some bullshit, gotta fake it till you make it :)
thank you so much 💗
of course! ❤️
I'm currently doing this Social media marketing specialization course in coursera. Would it be helpful to get a job?
Hello I am a first year IT student. and for me this course is hard and I don't find enjoyment. I am thinking to shift course but i don't know what course should i take. but this is my ideal work. I want a office job, related to social media like making content, advertisement etc. what do you call this? 😅
Thank you for these tips! Very helpful🤩
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the tips 😊
I just got accepted to a marketing school and i'm starting to take it really seriously
Congrats 🎉 wishing you the best of luck!
I want to make my career in marketing and advertising..so can you can you please help me which country is best to study?
I am really confused should i take fintech or digital marketing
Do you think it's possible to get a job in the digital marketing field after completing courses that you've done online, instead of studying marketing at university for years?
We believe that you are inspirational, keep up the good work!
I appreciate that! 😊
Would I be able to get a Digital Marketing job with Media Studies Major?
I'm from a commerce background . can i do masters in marketing? . which are the universities that i can aplly to?
Hello, so happy I came across your video. Would certification as a Digital Marketing Analyst - get me anywhere? I do not have a college degree but I do have more than 15 years of experience in Sales, Advertising & Marketing.
Yes! I definitely think you can use it to your advantage
I am looking for an internship in digital marketing right now and it is extremely difficult! I have no idea how you got a specialist position, straight after college. You must have been very lucky or smart/talented. Oh and I am located in Europe.
I know times can be really tough trying to find a job right now or even an internship! Trust me I remember 🤦🏻♀️ but I’m sure that you will find something soon. Just keep trying and keep updating or tweaking your resume along with your cover letter and I’m sure something will stick! Thank you so much! ❤️
@@NataliaRaquel yes I am doing exactly that, tweaking my CV constantly. About the cover letter I attach it only if the company specifies that. Actually most internships don’t care about it. Which is okay for me as it takes me about 15-20 min to write each cover letter.
i want to take communications in college but i want to do digital marketing. what else do i need to learn other than communications if i want to take digital marketing?
I would definitely take some business strategy course, a minor in business marketing would really be of benefit 😊 best of luck 🎉
Did you take marketing or a specific branch?
If I graduate from a university, Am I promise a career with my degree?
i like your sweater what is the brand of it? let me know
HI! I am under the age of 18 and was just wondering *bc I want to do this* lets say I have a PayPal me and I do my own invoices for my clients. Do I need to have a business license? Can I wait until 18 to get a business license? :) Its ok if you don't know but if you do it will be greatly appreciated :D
Do you see a lot of math and economics in university?
How can I decide which course I want such as marketing and Corporate communication? Cuz I don’t know what is the differences between it
I had the same dubt, but now that I'm working as social media strategist for a marketing agency I understood the difference, if I'm not wrong, it's like marketing is a big box that contains a lot of things one of those is communication.
Hello! I’m an undergraduate student and I was wondering if you could give me extra information..?
Video starts at 2:05
Thank you!
I have a in-house marketing position. I learn and work solely with digital marketing, but my bosses know very little about it, so I get little instruction and I feel that my learning curve isn’t to strong now. What job will teach me the most? What would you suggest as another entry level job for digital marketing?
I’m from Brazil and live in the US
Great video! I have some experience in marketing but not much, I've read tons of books and done online courses recently though, What's the average salary coming out of college?
It really depends the area, I would say $40K-$55K
Can you please elaborate those online courses?
@@AnjaliSingh-pc5us Hubspot is a great start. Their course is free and in depth
Are you expected to have full practicle experience in the filled when you starting it.
Most of the time you are expected to have a good amount of knowledge in the field, however if you are applying to an entry level job, employers know that they will have get you up and running in the beginning :)
Thank you for sharing 💕💕
Thanks for watching!
How much does a person earns in marketing field
Hello Natalia loved your video do you have any tips for me i am going to soon work for a company in digital marketing my the manager said my job will be marketing associate, i have no experience or learning experience in this field any advice you can give to learn it i need some help thank you.
Congrats! Its sort of difficult to give advice on a marketing associate position because it can be completely different in every company. But if I can say anything its to stay organized make sure to take notes and asks lots of questions and become very familiar with the company processes. Best of luck!
Signed up for a HubSpot Academy account mid-video, lol. I'm about to graduate from my M.A. in integrated advertising and public relations and am leaning towards digital marketing as a career but I really have no idea where to start. Definitely feeling very impostor syndrome-y.
Hey...I am studying marketing and after graduation I would like to do my internship and work abroad. I am from South Africa btw😊, so which companies are always hiring?
Hi! Thats awesome! Im not sure which companies are hiring but the careers tab are always at the very bottom of the companies website if you want to check out if positions are available for a company you are interested in :)
@@NataliaRaquel thank you
My gosh same here, I’m doing my last year in Marketing , I’m also from South Africa and I want to work in London after my internship.
But where to mention this experience on resume?? I mean I am working on an marketing instagram blog, I am confused in which section to mention about that ..
Moreover I have worked on SEO for my own store can I mention about that in resume? If yes in what column..
Hi! I would mention those thing in the experience portion. List your own company under once of your experiences and describe how you have done SEO in that portion 😊
@@NataliaRaquel thank you ❤️❤️
REALLY NEEDED THESE ADVISE💕
😊
to do
this might be random but what is the bgm at 5:20 😭
Im not quite sure, im sorry!
What bachelor degree did you do? Or recomend for digital marketing?
I got a bachelors in communications with a concentration in public relations. I would recommend that or a business marketing degree. Hope this helps!
@@NataliaRaquel As a Comm major this gives me hope 😂
From where did you learn digital marketing? Which school? Online or offline?
Hi! I went in person to Florida Gulf Coast University 😊
Am a child and choosing a career is hard so I choosed marketing manager coz you promote item
Thats awesome that youre thinking of your future career 😊
Would you say you have free time in this job, or is it "show up,Work for 40+ hrs a week, Sacrafice your life" ???
That was a very interesting video! 💕I'm wondering what's your favorite part of the job? :)
What do you think made you successful in this position? and how would you describe your company's culture in a few word?
Thank you 💕 my favorite part of my job is finding new ways to promote new products! I believe that my strong work ethic and dedication has made me successful in my position, and my company's culture would be fun and innovative!
@@NataliaRaquel thank you so much 💕💕
What was your college major exactly?
I majored in communications with a concentration in public relations 😊
@@NataliaRaquel me too :)
What age did you start your career ?
21
What do you do, what's the job descriptions? Then proceed to talk about background experience , with no clear example. Ok
I didn't go to school for Marketing. But I have so much more experience in PR/Marketing than in journalism. That's my major. I currently work for a Marketing agency.
What Marketing certificates do you recommend to gain more knowledge/credibility.
I actually have not gotten any certificates online, so I am not quite sure
Google digital marketing course. It’s free
Google digital marketing course.it’s free
How much computer knowledge should I have before starting a digital marketing career and what kind of prep work (literature, studies, etc) can I do before going into a digital marketing course
Its pretty important to have a good understanding of knowing how to work Excel, Word and PowerPoint, best of luck 😊
I’m trying to learn Constant Contact since its my brokerages main program. Only attempted RUclips tutorials, any other education links on that program appreciated!
End of the day, just getting on the program and using it, clicking on options builds muscle memory--but--its also a time sink. 😮
