Careers in advertising

At some point in my life, I would like to persue a career in the advertising field. Commercials and ads have always caught my eye, ever since I was a child. I was always interested in how firms would come up with ideas grab the attention of average person. Advertising is everywhere, including television, radio, billboards and magazines. I would love to work with a group of people and analyze information to learn how to attract consumers. I believe I have the right skills for this field of work. I have an interest in marketing and have great people skills. My creativity could be used to its full potential in a marketing career. To better my chances of finding a job in the future, I plan on taking an internship before graduating college. I will have to start from the bottom and work my way up, just like any other career. I may even attend graduate school to make my prospects look even better. Hopefully, a minor in mass communications will also be beneficial.

establishing myself

HI there,

My name is Holly. This is only the second blog I have ever written. So, here it goes again. I am 21 years old, a student at Shepherd Univeristy and a great person. At this point, I feel I am trying to find my place in life, but I suppose everyone at this age is in the same boat as me. I have two years left at Shepherd. After that, I would love to see some new places, make some new friends, and find a career that I love. I could see myself working in the field of advertising. Maybe I could even start my own business. It has been an interesting road to where I've gotten. There's been good times and the bad. But, I suppose everything happens for a reason. I try to look at things optimistically, because things can ALWAYS get worse. I don't know what the future has in store for me, so I guess I will have to just wait and see.
