Dear Sir,
First of all, I would like to keep my question anonymous.
I am in Bengaluru and have completed my PGDM in marketing.
Immediately after I graduated, I got a marketing internship offer from a reputed FMCG company and worked there for six months.
But I failed to get any employment in marketing thereafter and had to satisfy myself with sales/operations in small companies despite my wish to be in the field of marketing.
Thus, for the past two years, I have been working in an edutech company with the hope that I can shift to my dream job in the FMCG sector in marketing.
Unfortunately, the COVID pandemic is going on and I am still continuing my job in the edutech company.
Can you suggest any way out so that I am able to grab my dream job?
Thanks and regards,
Name withheld on request.
Hi.
You seem to be missing out on what you have in life by regretting that you are not doing what you want to do.
Trust me, in today's world, there is nothing like a dream job.
Having just started your career, I don't think you should be fixated on an FMCG marketing job.
To be a successful marketing professional, you must have a long and intense sales stint and your experience in the edutech company will provide you with that. So hang in there and give it your best shot.
You are in a good place; make the most of it.
