The First Post of a Marketing Student

dream of being a marketeer one day. I deam of selling things that people do not really need, to be one of the few to stand in the crowd and yell " This new detergent is great! It's got stain fighting powers and has more than average ratings at consumerresearch.com". Then, the crowd will go, "How do you know all this precious information?" and I will proudly nod my head and say " I learnt it in the University of the District of Columbia, I am a product of their ever expanding marketing department!". Clearly this is a dream sequence but it can be real, as real as it can be. As students of Marketing life is not just really tough but also really really Fun. All you gotta do is make some FRIENDS. Yes, the key to be a succesful anything is to know other key people who have keys to other stuff that you really need to have. 

We will dicuss about the keys later. But for our first post, I will give you some highlights on how to be a successsssssful marketing student. 

FIVE important guidelines to be an awesome marketing student

5. If you do not know the name of the professor or the professor does not know your name, you are a bad marketing student. Do whatever you can to be known to your classmates and especially your professor( you will need that extra credit sometime ). Even if the professor knows you by " the guy who looks like he just woke up and had squirrell meat for breakfast", you still are under his radar and beeping and that is more than good. 

4. Talk to your classmates. I know you don't want to stoop to their level but if you are not talking to anyone in your class then you are signed up for the wrong major. Talking is a big part of marketing, 

3. Sign up for silly things like " the librarian broken glasses fundraiser" or " Twenty day business high achievers marathon" , point is be Active. Activity can be tracked down and you can put it in your resume. Also, more people will notice you if you keep doing stuff. To a marketeer, more is certainly better. 

2. Interact with people who know stuff, like that guy who knows a lot about Interent marketing. Maybe you can together be the next Mark Zuckenberg or Zucciniberg. Again, point is interaction is good for a marketing students self esteem and confidence. 

1. GO TO CLASS. DO YOUR WORK and RESPECT YOUR PEERS.
