Honest hiring notes

  • Many marketing listings want marketing tools or metrics experience (analytics, paid ads). Writing and community roles are the more common entry points.
  • Writing samples usually matter more than certificates.
  • Watch for scams: real employers don't ask you to pay for equipment, training or a background check up front, and they don't run the whole interview over a chat app.

Questions former teachers ask

Do I need a marketing degree?

What's an RFP writer?
Someone who writes proposals answering school or district requests for proposals. Knowing how schools buy helps.
