Advertising Career Statement

Advertising and Marketing wasn’t always my first choice for what I wanted to do as a career path. I wanted to go to school for Marine Biology, but realized I was not smart enough in science type classes to do so. After this I realized I wanted to go into a profession where I had a lot of creative freedom. I love doing anything that takes creative thinking and doing. This is when I thought I would become a hairstylist. After taking hair school and completing it, I fell in love. I thought I finally found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. This was until I had to find an apprentice and struggled with the concept of putting stranger’s hair in my hand.

I ended up deciding it wasn’t the best option for me right now, but maybe in the future. Finally, my aunt Debbie said I should try Advertising and Marketing as it does include a lot of creative thinking. This really intrigued my interest.

I never knew coming into this course I would actually enjoy it and want to continue with it after the program was done. I know for sure this is something I want to do. With this, my best advice to anyone who wants to join the course is to stick with it. You really don’t know how many different ways advertising and marketing can go.

Unless you are in the right place, at the right time, no one ever makes it into their dream job right out of school. You have to work your way there. I really need to remember this when I search for my future career. I need to start from the bottom and work my way up. In the end it will all be worth it. I also learned that you really need to make sure you make connections and network. My shy personality made it harder to do this and I really wish I took a few more chances to speak up and make those connections when the opportunity came
