Your First Marketing Job
How to earn the skills, experience and relationships needed to get your first marketing job
Even if you don't have a relevant degree, work history, or professional network right now
I'm going to teach you how to do this by explaining how I did it.
My name is Gerard Dawson, and I was a high school English for ten years before making the transition into marketing for an Education Technology company.
And I did it without...
Going back to school
Taking an entry-level role
Signing up for an expensive bootcamp
I actually got paid to do much of what I'll show you!
Career changers no longer face the frustrating "chicken or egg" problem
In the past, you may have heard people say this when trying to get a first job or change careers:
"Getting a job requires experience! But getting experience requires a job!"
Some people may still believe this. But I urge you to discard this way of thinking.
At the risk of sounding dramatic, things have changed.
You can overcome the no-job/no-experience loop.
You can create your own experience.
Through hard work and the right path, you can earn opportunities in marketing even if you're transitioning from teaching and haven't done marketing work before.
Thanks to online networks, tools and resources, it takes little to no out-of-pocket expenses, plus your time, effort and creativity.
Your First Marketing Job shows you how to build the 3 things needed to get your foot in the door
Skills - how to do what a marketer does
Proof - how to prove you can do these things
Relationships - how to meet people you want to work with
I'm going to review step-by-step how you can:
Focus on the most important skills and not waste time on fluff
Begin showing your work ASAP so you can create assets that work for you
Learn the tools and software that marketers use (hint: this is the easy part)
Follow the easy path to building a network without feeling like your bothering people
With your effort, and commitment, you can use these same skills to:
Create your own media resource (podcast, newsletter, YouTube, etc.)
Start a side business selling your skills as a freelancer
Use these skills to continue leveling up your career in the future
Let's be clear: I'm NOT offering you help on your resume, cover letters, LinkedIn profile, or next job interview.
I'm NOT suggesting you'll be able to watch this workshop and get a job immediately.
I'm NOT connecting you with specific job opportunities.
I'm NOT offering to connect you to people I know.
What I AM offering is a series of action steps, plus tips, advice, and resources you can use to bufild the skills, experience and network you need to get a job in marketing. (And like I said, maybe even get paid to do it.)
Enroll in this workshop and complete the action steps, and you'll have knowledge and experience with:
Copywriting
Landing pages
Email Marketing
Social Media
Content Marketing
PR Outreach
Audience building
Analytics
Most importantly, you'll have public PROOF you can show potential employers that you have these skills (again, that's IF you follow the action steps I suggest.)
For the person interested in a career in marketing, with the time and patience to put in the work, then Your First Marketing Job will show you the path I followed that I believe can work for you too.
