MSc Marketing Graduate looking to move to NYC

Sorchs · 01-10-2011 9:26pm #1

In about 10 weeks time I will be finishing my MSc in Marketing Practice. Although I know things are picking up here and there seems to be a good number of jobs, I'm really keen to move to NYC. The issue is I want to have at least begun the process of looking for a job but have no clue where to begin? Is there an equivalent of Grad Ireland in the US or where would I even start looking?! Any assistance or info would be greatly appreciated!

You should ask Usit for help when you apply for the visa.

did your msc include some good work experience?

i have worked in marketing for 4 years and have found it to be very competitive in most countries. If you don;t have work experience, it maybe no harm to do an internship before you leave.

Hi lydsie,

My MSc is completely practical. We work in a commercial environment within our university working on commercial projects for actual clients.
To date these have ranged from a cookery school, an airline, a government body, an fmcg amongst others. So we have a good range of actual experience when we go. My issue is I don't even know where to begin looking for a role!

Well if you want to work in marketing, you should know how to do research. Google is your friend

@Tieko - This is research.

Well said, I can't understand why people on forums recommend google. If google was the answer why would forums exist?
