Hello Student.. you want to know the importance of academic background in marketing field,  I think you need not to worry that much as it is not at all important to have a academic if you already have a good experience in the same field. As per my [knowledge in marketing field][1] experience matters more than academic background in any case. You should be more aware of day to day suffering of marketing field rather than theoretical knowledge. Yeah in any day you will better relate if have some basic knowledge about the marketing filed and sector but all is theoretical which can vary a l

This is a very common myth that [marketing and sales job][1] needs a person to be talkative. Frankly speaking, being talkative is not an essential criteria in any business function but being interactive is very essential in every business function. If you are talkative, you are ruining your business and this is a hard truth. However if you are interactive you are saving your business from loss. I believe you get to understand this difference. To be a corporate professional and work in any area of the business [be it human resources, sales, marketing, strategy, customer management or pr

There is a vast difference in getting a degree from India or abroad, especially in the Management subjects at least.

Hi Deepaish,You seem to be quite on track in achieving what you want to with your MBA from Symbiosis. If you had major in marketing, you must be having the skills needed for the job. Now what you need is a suitable job. Go through your friends, alumni, contacts and get to a job in a marketing company. Initial days are tough in marketing jobs as you might not get to do what you have wanted to(like making designs, measuring signboards etc.) but it eventually improves. You might have to settle for a less paid job in such cases but once you prove your worth, you can reach heights if you are seriou
