Stacey’s Answer

It had a lot to do with hard work, timing and networking. I worked my way up. This large company had a small Sales Promotion department which consisted of 5 people. We all had our hands in every aspect of the department; like producing sales promotion materials, developing agendas, speaker support and events for company wide sales meetings. Our department interfaces with so many departments so I got my name and face out there. Once people got to know me and my capabilities then I was considered for promotions and positions in neighboring departments. I had to pay my dues in lesser roles but would never have been given the manager opportunity without these steps. Be patient.

I would recommend applying to jobs in the Advertisement field. The position you might start off with might be a entry level position. Once you are in your position set and communicate your career goal. Keep learning and take initiative , this will help grow your personal brand. Your personal brand is who you are and how you want to be viewed. Network with the right people and show leadership potential. The promotion / manager role will happen.
