Job profile! Marketing Communications Manager: "A company lives from the good mix of its personnel structure"

I studied Romance Studies (with a focus on French Philology), German Studies (with a focus on Modern German Literature) and Theater Studies. Today I am Marketing Communication Manager at Jobscout24. How do you get a job like that with a degree like that?

What you have to do as a spiritual scientist

When I headed for my master's exam before 3 years ago, of course, everyone predicted that I would have to expect unemployment for a certain amount of time, 6-12 months are quite normal.

And so was I Honestly surprised, after just 2 weeks of the application phase job interview to be invited. It was about a PR traineeship in Munich. The first question I had to put up with during the interview was: “I see here that you studied theater studies… (the PR director at the time raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth down) Is that even a science? ”

Life as a stage

Of course, I could have answered what was on the tip of my tongue: “Yes, otherwise it wouldn’t be a state-recognized subject University!!!” Instead, I settled on the thesis that life is a stage, especially in professional life we ​​all play one or more roles and that “performance” is a buzzword for freelancers Economy.

The books on the subject (advertising)

The PR director was amazed. After I also told him the difference between philology and Psychology explained, we could talk to each other in a more relaxed manner. To this day I ask myself whether this introductory banter was a perfidious stress test or whether I was dealing with a narrow-minded business administration fuzzy in a class of its own. Anyway ... I got the job.

Marketing - more than advertising

Since then, I have made several career steps and arrived in the business world - as Marketing Communications Manager. It is interesting that my family environment - all humanities scientists - until today did not understand what I actually do.

My father likes to claim: “Sonja advertises in the Internet”. Well...I've given up trying to correct him. Today I proselytize in 2 directions. I try to convince my parents (both linguists) that I don't have to deal with mindless shopkeepers all day at JobScout24 and I prove to my colleagues every day that a Romanist can also do something.

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

Give a chance to humanities scholars

Anyway, one thing is for sure: Employers who give humanities graduates a chance are certainly braver and more open than others who only Employees set with the right stable smell.

And I dare to claim that there are just as many stupid people and crackpots among humanities scholars as there are among economists, mechanical engineers, physicists or IT-specialists. Depending on the area of ​​activity, others are suitable People for the job.

A company lives on the good mix of its personnel structure

An Companys but thrives on the good mix of its personnel structure. growth arises where ability and Background of men and Women, connect older and younger colleagues with different educational biographies – for the good of them Company. Anyone who does not understand this must continue to ask themselves whether theater studies are actually a science...

In any case, later I won't raise my eyebrows and turn down the corners of my mouth to ask my children: "You want to study XY? What do you want to do with it later? And to be ashamed in mine Eyes yes finally no one in Germany successfully complete a degree.
