While you were in school, you probably imagined how awesome your life would be once you graduated. After all, with a marketing degree, you should be able to get an incredible job right away, correct? Sounds great - but that's not always the case.

The marketing field is quite broad and for someone just graduating or changing career paths, the options for the future are exciting, but overwhelming. How do you decide where to go next? What type of job will allow you to use your skills and give you the best opportunities today and in the future?

So you've created a digital marketing portfolio - but how do you curate it further? By accepting that it's a work in progress and ever-changing.

As of late fall 2016, there are over 467 million users of LinkedIn—the premier professional-based social media network. Millions use the site every day, not just to search for new jobs or candidates, but to make connections and share content. You probably already have a profile and utilize some of the other features of the site, but have you ever considered publishing an article on the network?

You're looking for a marketing job and you go to networking events because it seems like a high value activity. However, you're nervous and don't know how to start conversations with other marketers. Don't worry - you're not the only one!

Content marketing is huge. Creating great content achieves great results. However, getting published when you don’t already have a portfolio can be tricky.
