Re:Career Advice - Market Research Forum

Hi

After reading what you say and looking at your qualifications, it does appear that you could well have a good future in market research. Indeed, market research companies are already employing people with lesser qualifications than you.

One thing which struck me is that you say you have made more than 100 applications without even a single telephone interview.

This isn't a very good strike rate, and especially for someone with a degree in marketing.

Marketing sector employers are particularly discerning, and when they read your CV it is not just about what you have done, but it's also about how you go about selling yourself too.

It could well be that your CV is the root of the problem.

One option would be for you to get it checked out professionally, and there are numerous CV companies who offer free (no obligation) CV appraisals.

I hope this helps.
