Page 1 of anyone work in marketing?

hi guys
I`m looking at working in the marketing sector.
Are there any professional qualifications that would help me out.
thanks

I don`t work in marketing, but there are..
have a look here.

My brother recently moved (within the same company) from sales into marketing - he has just completed the first chunk of the qualification for the Chartered Institute of Marketing - might be worth checking out whether they offer any kind of qualification other than those done whilst actually working in the field?

thats what I was trying to think of (the CIM that is)
good luck!

Thanks
i`ll look in to that.

1) Change name by deedpoll to `Dickie Beasley`
2) Sell all your assets. You`ll need it for 3)
3) Develop cocaine habit.
4) Take a machete. You`ll need it for 5)
5) slice your nose off. It`ll be wrecked by 3) anyway.
6) Watch Channel 4 `top 100` programmes over and over again. Youll need the lack of inspiration.
7) And before you accuse me of being nasty, I worked for two years as a facility operative to a marketing firm. Horrible job. Horrible people.

Here`s what the late, great Bill Hicks had to say about marketing (expletives removed):-

By the way if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. No, no, no it`s just a little thought. I`m just trying to plant seeds. Maybe one day, they`ll take root - I don`t know. You try, you do what you can. Kill yourself.

Seriously though, if you are, do. No, really. There`s no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan`s little helpers, okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously.

No this is not a joke, you`re going, "there`s going to be a joke coming," there`s no joke coming. You are Satan`s spawn filling the world with bile and garbage. Kill yourself. It`s the only way to save your soul, kill yourself.

I know all the marketing people are going, "he`s doing a joke"... there`s no joke here whatsoever. Suck a tail-pipe, hang yourself, borrow a gun from a friend - I don`t care how you do it. Rid the world of your evil machinations.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill`s doing, he`s going for that anti-marketing dollar. That`s a good market, he`s very smart." Oh man, I am not doing that. You evil scumbags!

"Ooh, you know what Bill`s doing now, he`s going for the righteous indignation dollar. That`s a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We`ve done research - huge market. He`s doing a good thing." Godammit, I`m not doing that, you scumbags! Quit putting a godamm dollar sign on every thing on this planet!

"Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market, Bill`s very bright to do that." God, I`m just caught in a web!

"Ooh the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market - look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar..." How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like babies at night, don`t you?"
