In Reply To: I am a Design Proffesional with over 10 sucessful years of business development and general managment experience in B2B and B2C ventures. The entire time I have handled all aspects of advertising, PR and Brand building for my ventures. I have a BFA in Design and proficient in most graphic and web software packages. My problem I have the people and sales skills to be an AE and the technical skills to work production or AD and I have No Clue on how to break in. ( I currently network at some agency and PR functions Beginning to get a little interest) I Would Appreciate any Advice Available... I Have the potential to do great things.
Message: I too had more than 10 years of marketing experience, including 3 as an independent consultant. I had no problem getting a job with a 40-person full-service agency. I face three challenges: understanding the agency's arcane "agency process"--i.e. learning how to fill out the job forms and who to give them to, learning how to keep everyone informed about what I was doing, and learning to work with much younger people who's only work experience came from working for an agency. They really didn't understand the real world.
