Young marketing professionals who seek job changes often run into a proverbial wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sorry, but your experience does not match with what we’re looking for.” Many candidates suffer from the Catch-22 situation of needing experience to be hired, but needing to be hired in order to gain the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can get frustrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But can this sentence be avoided during job interviews?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is possible to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a myth that experience can be gained only through traditional means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience is not a formal entity that can be gained only within the constraints of a corporate role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can also be gained by taking on a challenge, and seeing it through to the end (whether you succeed or fail, the learning is what matters.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is “PROOF OF WORK.” As long as you can show that, formalised experience does not matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to get a content marketing job? – Start a website or a LinkedIn profile, post quality material consistently, and gain shares and engagement. You’ll learn SEO and content creation along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to get a perf marketing job? – Start off as an intern at a firm where there is good talent. Learn from them while executing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to land a design role? – Start designing on your own, using free YouTube courses to learn. Build a portfolio, offer to collaborate for free with professional designers. Showcase your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proof of work trumps “experience” always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
