I helped 2 of my friends land jobs in marketing at ages 26 and 27 with no degrees and I'm also a senior marketing manager in tech at 28. So here are my best tips to get the job you want. First you gotta have a solid foundation in marketing principles and strategies. If you're going to learn from anyone it has to be from the people doing the job every day. I recommend School16 because you learn from professionals at Google, Etsy, Drift, Shopify and Microsoft. Practice your soft skills to grow your career fast. You need soft skills as much as technical skills. I'm an introvert, I'm awkward as hell and I still nail every single interview. The School16 program apart from teaching you marketing also works on developing your interviewing skills so you'll get the job even without experience. Create and execute marketing campaigns. My advice is to run your first marketing campaigns with a small budget as your side project. In marketing knowing what works is just as important as knowing what doesn't. If you had more failures than successes rephrase them as learnings when interviewing for a job. Work on your personal brand. If you don't have a portfolio this is going to be it. Seek mentorship. If you can't get the attention of company leaders look for courses that offer 1:1 mentorships with top companies. To be honest at this point all your free time should be invested learning and live programs like School16 offer the most affordable solutions in the market. They also offer scholarships so go apply in the link in my bio because they are closing applications soon.
