There are entry-level positions that you can obtain that don't require years of experience. Usually these jobs are working as an assistant or coordinator under the leadership of a more experienced professional. What employers will look for is a degree in a relevant field and with classes in Internet marketing. They will also look to see if you completed an internship, worked summers in an Internet marketing capacity, and similar experience.
To obtain more senior-level positions, you will need to gain at least two or three years of experience. The more advanced the job, the more years of experience you'll need to have. To work as a manager, you may need to have completed three to five years of experience. The same holds true if you're considering launching your own consulting company. Most clients want to see that you have several years of experience and a track record of successful Internet marketing campaigns.
In addition to this experience, Internet marketing professionals need to be creative and problem solvers. They also need to have excellent communication and presentation skills, as well as organizational skills. In addition to being creative, it also helps for these professionals to be analytical.
Internet marketing and advertising consultants must be lifelong learners. You should have the desire and initiative to keep up on new technology, software, and hardware, as well as new marketing and advertising techniques. You must also have strong communication skills, including good listening skills. Creativity and an eye for digital design are also desirable. Because marketing and advertising consultants deal with many different people in various lines of work, you must be flexible and have good interpersonal and communication skills. To be a successful consultant, you should be self-motivated and have the ability to work alone as well as with groups. You also need to have the patience and perseverance to see projects through and have strong problem-solving skills.
