I have a background in fundraising, media outreach and community organizing.
But I want to work in the for-profit industry.

How do I break into marketing and promotion?
Anonymous
Well as with any industry, I would say that the first step is to do some research on the biggest players within the space. Look in the news to see what types of deals/initiatives they are working on and that should give you a sense for the current trends in the industry. You should also be able to answer basic marketing interview questions: http://gottamentor.com/viewAdvice.aspx?a=154

Find out who is behind some for-profit promotions you're impressed with. Write them a fan letter, enclose a resume.
(By the way, the company I work for is looking for some new marketing interns, starting on a stipend, moving to full-time after six months. Ping me if you're interested).
