Top 6 Career Recommendations for Students or Entry-Level Marketers

Within the last few months, I've had the privilege of speaking to the brilliant minds of the marketing students at the University of Miami, George Washington University, and California State University, San Marcos.  

STUDENTS (or those just getting started in your career!!) Here are my top 6 career recommendations to position yourself as a top candidate when applying for jobs -

1. Identify your ideal job in an industry that excites you

2. Define your personal niche: where your interests and talents meet

3. Build a list of your dream companies (locally and nationwide)

4. Identify teams and hiring managers within those companies

5. Network with intention (take advantage of LinkedIn and in-person opportunities!)

6. Volunteer within organizations you're passionate about and build a portfolio to showcase your work, especially your impact
