Some say that marketing can make one earn more, but marketing is not suitable for every one. It bears great challenges and pressures to the persons who are engaged in the job. I don't know if you are suitable for this kind of job. Here, I have some questions for you to answer, which can help you to decide if you are suitable for the job or not.
- Are you a person like communicating with the others?
- Do you have more friends than the others do?
- When you are scolded by your leader or customer, are you angry? If not, what is your reaction to this kind of scolding?
- If there is a mountain for you to climb, do you want to get to the top, where is not safe, and you may lose your life, when you can stay at the middle of the mountain?
- Who will be the person that you can think that he or she is your model or can gain your admiration?
- Are you sky with the leaders of the companies when you have to talk to them?
For the first question, if your answer is yes, it shows that you have the ability to talk with the others, and have the potential power to persuade a person into doing something for you. So, it shows that you can meet the basic requirement of entering the marketing career. Otherwise, try to find that if you can change a little bit and to form a habit to communicate with the others. If you can do it, you can be a candidate for marketing career.
Second question is to test if you are social person. If you have many friends, it shows that you are social person, and this is the basic requirement for you to be in marketing career, too.
If you are not angry when are blamed or scolded by your leader or customers, you are on the positive side to become a person in marketing arena. This is for the third question. I don't know how you will reaction on this kind of blaming or scolding. If you take it for granted, it shows that you cannot improve your marketing skills by yourself, and you need a person to guide you in this career. If you face this kind of problems too often, it shows that you have to change your manners or attitude toward the others. If you will give up, you can never be at the top level in marketing career. Even worse, you will lose the job.
About the fourth question, you will have to think about the risks in the marketing career. Since not all the persons are suitable for this kind of job, you may face failure. However, if you want to climb to the top of the mountain, it shows that you have the potential power to be a good marketing manager or even higher in position in this field.
The next question is a general question for you to answer. If your model is in political field, you should consider entering the political circle. If your model is in the marketing career, you are the right person the career of marketing.
The last question is to test you if you feel at home when you talk with the leaders. This is a manner or we say an inner-world power for you to do a good job as marketing. This will not affect your politeness at all. You can be very polite and show your respect to them. However, you are not afraid of talking with them. This is the point.
After answering these questions, you will know if you are suitable for the job or not. I wish these questions can help you to know which kind of person you are, and wish you could find the job you like.
