My Career...?
I've been working at a publishing company for 4 years now. If you ask me what my role is, I sometimes dont even know. I started out in customer service, then moved into the Higher Education dept. I work in higher ed sales with the marketing dept and product group. I basically provide support...but i feel like it's so much more than that. I've gotten sales experience, i've gotten product/marketing experience, customer service experience, IT/tech experience, ive gotten event planning experience, experience with our finance dept. Yet i still feel sort of like, where do i fit in? When someone asks me, what do you do there? It's just so complicated. My title is sales coordinator. I'm in school for a masters in communications management. I'm worried about where my career is going. I want to make more money, but i only make 44k. I wonder if ill just need to switch companies? I work at a publishing place for a university in boston yeah, i mean one would think that having experience in a few depts would be a good thing...guess not.

- if you're not achieving your career goals at your present company, try to find a company that would give you more focus. my advice is to find a company that will give you direction. if you're in school for a masters in communications that's a good thing, since it will make you more desirable to your prospective companies. it is usually better to be a specialist than a jack-of-all trades since it allows you to grow in a specific field and be an expert. they usually make more money because it is harder to find people who are experts in their field.
