  hi, yesterday i had said that a mgmt skill is necessary. For example if a person is an extrovert he may be suitable for marketing etc.
so for identifying that the workshop would be helpful and most important is with a professor like Mr Raja Govindaswamy. I will suggest the following tips for persons who wish to get into marketing. First choose a city where u think there r more oppurtunities for marketing .
for eg chennai, bangalore etc. U should know the local language of that particular city like tamil or kannada.this is a must because without local language u cannot go & speak to a local customer. Have a definition of marketing and the difference between marketing & sales always in ur purse.becoz as a fresher these r the two definite questions they will ask in an interview if u go as a fresher.
(Questions out pannitenna hehehe) I always keep one & still i have it with me. (i know u r all laughing because i used to bit adichify in exams & it continues even in interviews) Second delete all the IT projects & packages u know from ur resume. u can include at the most Ms office. ( padichethalleam waste aaa ) Third after joining in a job the same evening post ur resume in all the job websites & keep applying for all the jobs u see.
If u r in a company which is big (say for eg Reliance ) u will definitely get atleat 5 calls for interview in a week. If u get a good offer with a hike in salary go for that job. this process can go on till u settle down into a good company where u think there will be growth and where there is good salary. These r the tips i can give with my expereince so far in marketing and sales. Bye
