Find the Perfect Media Sales Job in 5 Simple Steps

By Carla Johnson | April 30, 2009

Finding a media sales job might not be the easiest task to approach these days, but for some people it can mean the difference between putting food on the table and having to resort to eating at the family home.

Media sales jobs are an exciting avenue of work to venture down, and also seem to be standing fast against the fading economy. What if finding a media sales job was as easy as 1-2-3? Well how about as easy as 1-2-3-4-5? Below are 5 steps to finding the perfect media sales job for you. According to Mary Elizabeth Bradford, a writer for Ezine Articles, it is completely viable to land numerous interviews, media sales job orientated or otherwise, even with the current state of the economy. There are a few interesting points to note in the article that have been represented below.

  1. Network. Speak to people in the media sales job positions that you favor, and get their input on how to approach the industry. Allowing them to tell their story of how they landed their media sales job could either give you the answers you were looking for, or could be a way towards venturing to ask them to speak to the right people on your behalf.

  2. Prepare your resume before approaching companies for potential media sales jobs. Make sure that all the information contained therein is appropriate to the media sales job you are applying for, and that there are no loose ends that have no validity. Your resume should be concise, informative, professionally presented and geared towards the media sales job industry.

  3. Line up a list of contactable references that can back up your application for a media sales job by stating how efficient or hard working you are. It is pointless to offer a reference from someone who fired you from your last position or thought that you didn’t have the appropriate skills for the job at hand. List the names of those people who will sing your praises. A media sales job can be trained for, so even if your experience doesn’t match up to the media sales job itself, your references can set you in the right direction for success.

  4. As per the Ezine Article link above, encountering competition when applying for a media sales job is a given, so opting to apply for positions in media sales jobs during off months like the December holiday period would be an excellent place to start. You will always have people contesting for the same media sales job as you. By applying for media sales jobs in ime with when these people are sure to be experiencing downtime, you can give yourself the advantage of being organised.

  5. Remain cool and confident at all times. Through the application process for your media sales job, through any possible callbacks for the media sales job, and through the interview process if you manage to get that far. A person who is self-assured is far more likely to succeed in any position than a person who is soft spoken and unsure of themselves.

How to Land a Media Sales Job in a Bad Economy

By Carla Johnson | April 28, 2009

Landing a media sales job is one thing, but trying to do the same in an economy that has taken a turn for the worse is something entirely different. Today’s economy leaves little to be desired, although there is certainly promise in unexpected corners. The media industry has not suffered as much as many others, and media sales jobs are available for those who have the skills and experience to offer. But what if you are a media sales job hunter without skills and without experience? You need to back yourself up in other departments to ensure you get an interview for the media sales job you want.

Landing a media sales job interview can be a complete job in itself, and deserves as much attention and preparation as the job itself. Organise yourself and assemble all the appropriate documentation for your media sales job application to the point where you are over-prepared and more than ready to accept any obstacle that is presented to you.

Be selective about the media sales jobs you apply for so that you are equipped with the appropriate answers if anyone should call you back. On this note, be prepared to answer any questions that a media sales job administrator might throw at you, whether they seem personal or not. The basics that you will more than likely have to answer are:

  • What studies have you completed that are appropriate to the media sales job you are applying for? And where did you study?

  • What work experience do you have to back up your application to the media sales job position?

  • What generic skills do you possess that would be a positive attribute to the media sales job?

  • What can you offer the company that will benefit them if they hire you for the media sales job?

You should be able to answer these questions easily and extensively. The last question is probably the most difficult point to answer, and could well mean the difference between landing an interview for your media sales job or not.

Upon submitting your application, ensure that your completed resume has encompassed all the valid information that pertains to the media sales job you are applying for. All your skills and qualifications should be clearly listed as that will be the first thing that any media sales job employer will look out for.

If you do get a call back from a media sales job application, you must realise that it is because the employers think that you have the necessary skills to be able to fill the position. If there was any remote possibility that they thought you weren’t capable to carry out the media sales job in question, then you would never have received the call. In this instance you are already one step closer to landing your desired media sales job, and must remember to present yourself (even if it is just telephonically) confidently, professionally and in a self-assured manner so as to instill a positive impression for your future media sales job employers.
