The Best Place To Start?
May not be the Marketing Department!
• Take on a customer facing role
• Understand the buying decisions of those customers
• Understand the customers issues and pains
• Work in production or operations
These are potentially more challenging,
educational and worthwhile to commence
your marketing career.
