Advertising & Public Relations Jobs
August 15th 2006 00:39
For those that don’t know much about the PR and advertising industry many think that advertising is all about creative work. Actually, there are three primary avenues that a career in advertising can follow: creative, account management, and media. You'll face stiff competition if you want a career in advertising or PR as it is a popular career choice. Writers and artists are drawn to agencies' creative and production departments because the salaries are far superior in the commercial world than in the independent arts world. Public relations offers liberal arts types jobs that can be steady and fairly lucrative while still being creative.
Broadly speaking, the industry follows a fairly standard hierarchy of positions. Generally, new hires start out as account coordinators or assistant fill-in-the-blanks, then "assistant" is dropped from the title (assistant copywriter becomes copywriter). Next, you are promoted to senior fill-in-the-blank, vice president, and then senior vice president. Advertising isn't easy to get into. Most people start out at the entry level and jump agencies as they move up. Those in the industry advise that it may even be essential to move from agency to agency in order to get to work with new clients and keep a fresh portfolio.

Advertising & Public Relations Industry
August 14th 2006 00:57
I thought I’d spend the next few days looking at the advertising and marketing career paths. They seem to be popular career options at the moment. In the commercial world, advertising and public relations companies are hired for to motivate people. They form of motivation is very broad and can include focusing on persuading people to buy goods or services, vote for a political cause or candidate or invest in a company. Both industries deliver words and pictures through a wide range of media. So what are the differences between public relations firms and advertising agencies?
In general, an advertising agency is a marketing consultant that is hired by a client to help promote something of interest. An advertsing agency will generally help a client through the entire process of exposing a product or idea to the mass public. They’ll be involved with everything from strategy to concept to execution. Strategy involves helping the client make high-level business decisions, like what new products to develop or how to define or brand itself to the world. Next, the agency takes the client’s strategy and turns it into a concept for advertisements. In the execution stage, the concept is turned into reality through the production of the actual ads: the print layout, the film shoot, the audiotaping. Full-service agencies also handle the placement of the ads in newspapers, magazines, radio and other media outlets.

Financial Analyst
August 10th 2006 00:44
Financial analysts help people decide how to invest their money. A financial analyst assesses a company’s financial needs and strategies. Various forms of financial budgeting are a key part of the job. They work for banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, and securities firms. After the meetings, the analysts write reports and give talks about what they found out. Then, they suggest buying or selling that firm's stock. Financial analysts may specialize. Those in investment banking study the companies that want to sell stock to the public for the first time. They also might study the pros and cons of a merger (when two companies join together) or a takeover (when one company buys another). Some financial analysts are ratings analysts who find out if companies can pay their debts.
Financial analysts usually work in offices. They may work long hours. They sometimes work on evenings or weekends. Many analysts face deadlines. Their day is filled with telephone calls and meetings. To be a successful financial analyst you’ll need sound math, computer, and problem-solving skills. Working with clients requires good people skills. Confidence, maturity, and the ability to work on your own are important, too. Analysts also need good communication skills to explain complex financial ideas using simple words. General knowledge and social studies can also be helpful platforms in the job. Often an analyst will have to sift through obscure information in order to find critical information about a company. Knowing how to effectively use financial software (Excel, Lotus, etc.) is also necessary for success in this field.

Comments (2) Artist
August 9th 2006 00:42
Visual artists, specialize in making art that audiences can see: paintings, drawings, prints, engravings, glasswork, video and film, photographs, Flash animations the list is endless. Visual arts careers can be divided into "fine arts"—what you see in museums, galleries, and Art Forum - filmmaking, commercial photography, and other arts. The product of the artist's efforts is the work of art: That's what sets the visual arts apart from the performing arts, in which the performance is the art. A visual artist transforms raw materials—different colors of paint, for instance, or unused film, or a giant block of marble—into works of art: things meant to be beautiful, to inspire, or to provoke.
It can be a long, hard road to success in the visual arts. The starving artist is one of the oldest clichés for good reason. Even if you have talent, technical training, time, and tenacity, it's quite possible that you'll never really earn a living from your work as a visual artist. Many of the great artists in history lived their entire lives on a shoestring and some with little acknowledgement of their skills.

Drafter
August 8th 2006 00:40
Drafters prepare technical drawings and plans that are then used to build everything from industrial machinery to skyscrapers. Computers are now the main method of drafting and allow drafters to change their drawings, make copies, and fill in details in seconds. They can make 3-D models and preview the whole construction process. The number of industries and fields in which CAD is used continues to expand, as does the use of technical drawings and models in the production process. Manual drafting may still be used in certain applications.
The primary role of a drafter is to take concepts from an engineer, architect or client and draft them into a format that will show them how buildable a plan is, and help them to estimate costs. Their production drawings provide visual guidelines, showing the products and structures' details and specifying dimensions, materials to be used, and the procedures and processes to be followed. Often, drafters specialise in a certain area, e.g., aeronautical drafters, electrical drafters, electronic drafters, pipeline drafters, etc.

Performing Artist
August 7th 2006 00:34
Performing artists do are professional entertainers. Whether it's live or on film or video, they act, sing, play music, dance, tell jokes, or otherwise keep us amused. While other artists, such as writers, sculptors, or painters, are focused on creating or producing things like short stories or paintings, performing artists channel their talents into performances that entertain, amuse, provoke, and delight. Performers who succeed on the world stage spend years laboring to learn the nuances of their medium of expression. For actors, the work involves mastering the ability to seem to be people other than themselves, via skills such as vocal dexterity and control over their physical actions.
Those who do well in the performing arts are creative, expressive individuals who are passionate about their craft. Patience, perseverance, and stamina—in addition to talent, practice, and a thick skin—are crucial to success; performing artists must get accustomed to rejection. Actors and professional dancers may perform the same roles for months, sometimes years. Training in music (reading playing music), acting (many actors start with high school productions), and/or dance is essential. A degree from a specialized arts college can often launch you toward a performing arts career. However, while a formal education is recommended, it is not essential in many of the performing arts.
