From what I can say … "Marketing is everything great and exciting of all the annoying things that have little to be done in every corner of every corporate organization in order to achieve the goal of attracting and retaining a customer." Theodore Levitt. Yes, marketing is fun, and now with the speed of technology, the media landscape is changing dramatically and customers are driving the interactions.

  1. Do you mean a course that is about online marketing, or a marketing course that one takes via the Internet? I can't tell you if it will help you get a good job unless I see the course for myself.

    Event planning — does the course teach event planning?

    You can gain experience with event planning while job shadowing someone who does it: a wedding planner, a concert promoter, a nonprofit staff member putting on a fund raising event or a walkathon, etc.

    Is marketing fun? Um. . . it's intense. To be successful, you have to be very well spoken, have perfect writing skills, be comfortable talking in front of a group or on television, love talking to people, have no problem initiating conversations with strangers, and know how different people are reached via different means — your grandmother doesn't get her info the same way you do, for instance, and you have to know the unique ways of reaching different age groups, people at different income levels, people who have specific interests, etc.

    You have to understand how to pitch stories to the press, how to stand at a booth and call out to people passing by in a way that makes them want to stop and look at whatever you are selling, how to tell someone in 30 seconds why something you are selling is worth buying, how to design a brochure that someone would want to read, how different people use different online tools, and on and on.

    And you have to be ready for dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people to comment on your work, positive or negative. EVERYONE sees what you do when you are a marketing person. It's not for the thin-skinned.
