Marketing Career Resources
Below you will find career and professional development resources for Marketing majors. It is essential that you proactively engage career development as an integral part of your entire SXU experience. It is crucial to start early and integrate meaningful opportunities into your student experience, such as internships, volunteer and leadership opportunities.
Remember that your major is just a starting point and not a prescription for a narrow list of employment opportunities. By immersing yourself in your liberal arts education and gaining experience outside of the classroom, you have the opportunity to develop transferable skill sets highly desired by employers and/or graduate programs. Some of the skills that a Marketing major will develop are active listening, persuasion, judgment and decision making, coordination and communication. Talk with Career Services to find out how to creatively market your major, skills and experiences to various opportunities.
