How to Get My Job – Advertising Sales

This is the first episode in a series called, “How to Get My Job.” In this and future episodes, I’ll interview people about their jobs, discussing how they got their job, what their job is like, and what advice they have for people looking to get a similar job.

Today’s interview is with Jessica, an Integrated Account Director for a major publishing company located in New York. Jessica talks about what it’s like to work in the advertising world, from the media/strategy side and the ad sales side (where she works now), including some of the social perks. Jessica has a great example of how to network “on the sly,” as well as how to tap into one’s professional contacts when looking for a new job. Enjoy!
