Obtain A Magazine Advertising Job

Working in advertising at a top magazine like "Vogue" or "Cosmopolitan" can be a thrilling experience since you'll be mingling with many movers and shakers. You will be responding to enquiries and giving companies quotes on advertising rates and essentials. If you like the thrill of a sale, then you will be happy in this department.


Instructions


1. Start your job search by applying to various magazines. If you do not have any experience in advertising, then it might be harder for you. So you might have to offer your services as an intern. If you have experience, then you can show them your past experiences in advertising and skills.


2. Read about magazine advertising if you do not know much about it. Get books on advertising strategies from your local library and study them before a job interview.


3. Ask your friends and family members to practice a mock interview with you. Ask them to ask you advertising and magazine industry questions so you will be prepared for any question in an interview.


4. Post your resume on advertising websites if you can. If you can find free posting sites, then it will be better for you. Craigslist.com allows you to post your resume in the 'resume' section for free.


5. Look through newspapers and other local papers that might have a jobs section in them. If you do not find any magazine advertising jobs there, then try job sites online where you can do a keyword search.
