For most companies, they are feeling very pressured in this economy to make money and be profitable. They don’t have the luxury of time, which means they don’t have the time or the patience to train people. Especially when it comes to marketing—they need to hire marketing professionals that can make an impact right away.
This makes it challenging for recent graduates or career changers to break into the marketing field.
