How did you get your job?

That marketing is non-revenue producing. Usually people think that sales bring in all the money, but marketing is a very important part of the industry.

How can somebody get a job like yours?
You need to network with people inside and outside the company to get a job. Presenting yourself in the right way is fundamental to getting ahead.
