Message Name: Is switching depts. typical?
Date Posted: 06/04/2002
Message: I am a recent grad who ultimately would like to work within the account mgmt. dept. at an advertising agency, but is finding that most of the local agencies around me have more entry-level opportunities within their media dept. So, I'm now thinking about applying to these media positions to get my foot in the door and then later changing over to the acct. mgmt. dept. if the opportunity presents itself. Within an advertising agency, is it difficult, or unusual, for someone who is working in the media department to transfer over to the account mgmt. dept.? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
