I graduated from school a few years ago.
I earned a communications degree.
It was the one degree I was able to get with the credits I had. I was determined to be done in four years. However, I had changed majors several times. I got a degree, but wasn’t sure what to do with it. Noone prepared me for getting a job. I was lucky to get hired by a digital advertising company. The company performs online advertising services, mainly for HVAC businesses. I began as the guy who took calls from the business owners. I knew nothing, so I simply transferred them to the right department. The company employs web builders, a sales team, finance guys and the SEO team. I wasn’t really sure of the difference between each department. As I stayed with the company, I learned the ins and out and my job increases. If a coworker left for vacation, I filled in for them. I started to build websites, got into PPC, worked up spreadsheets and spoke with the various HVAC businesses. I got involved in just about every service we offer. Now I have been promoted. I am finally on the web team. I get to make websites for the new HVAC clients. I like this job. I get to be creative when designing the layout of the site and adding graphics. I don’t deal with SEO or search engine advertising. I just create the site and hope it meets the approval of the client.. Eventually I hope to get into the tech side of the digital advertising process. I want to be skilled at all of it so that I’m more valuable as an employee.
