Personal Marketing Plan

Current Marketing Situation: I am graduating school and entering the workforce. My previous work experience is somewhat limited, mainly to retail work, but I have a solid education from a great school. I have a degree in marketing and this has prepared me for a career in marketing, advertising or possibly sales management. My present job is inadequate for my new education level. I like the people I work with, but the pay and the nature of the tasks are more suitable for someone with less experience and education. I believe that with a better education, I am prepared to take on positions of responsibility and to begin a progressive career path.

SWOT Analysis: I have a lot of different strengths upon which I draw to succeed. I am organized and intelligent, and this allows me to accomplish the things that I need to accomplish, on time and to a high standard. I work hard, and take my responsibilities seriously.

There are threats, however. Unemployment is high, so I may be competing for jobs with experienced, talented people who are currently in the job market. In addition, any further decline in the economy would hit marketing departments hard. I need to be prepared to address these threats.

Objectives and Issues: My objective is simple -- I want to gain as much experience as possible in the marketing field. I want to find myself in a position with a great company that allows me to experience a number of different types of marketing jobs so that I have a better idea of how I might fit into the workforce. I do not feel that I will do this through my present employer, however; I will need a new company. Five years from now, I would have to have accumulated a body of work experience in a number of fields, know what field I want to pursue, and be well on my into a junior management position.
