International Marketing

Answer 1

With the advent of today’s technology the world is getting smaller and more accessible. This has opened up the lines of communication between companies in different countries and thanks to advances such as email and VOIP, expanding a business into global markets has become much easier. Due to these expansions and developments, the need for international marketing representatives is growing. For many the idea of traveling to other countries and meeting international clients is an exciting option making a career in international marketing very appealing.

If you are looking to move your career to international marketing there are several steps to take. Whether you are a college graduate or an experienced marketing manager the first steps are essentially the same as you need to research the kind of companies you are looking to work for. Begin by reading up on the industries you are interested in and finding out more about the companies that appeal to you. Take note of important details such as relevant contacts in human resources or who the CEO is. Sign up for any public and professional events or seminars and start networking with these companies in a professional manner.

A good way to begin networking is by sending an open letter with your resume. Even if there are no opportunities available at the time they are likely to keep your file on record and also take note of the fact you wrote to them of your own accord. This gives them the impression that you are interested in working for that company in particular and can go a long way in helping you to get your foot through the door. If you have heard nothing after a month, take the time to call the company and confirm whether they have your resume. The worst thing that can happen is that they say there are no jobs available but you will be letting them know that you are keen and available to work. If nothing else, they will be aware of who you are.
