Marketing jobs are available in situations such as manufacturers and channel of distribution members such as retailers and wholesalers. Providers of many types of services, including health care, financial services (including banking), travel, legal services, and information services, also hire marketing executives. Not-for-profit organizations also have marketing professionals.

Many marketing graduates begin their careers in sales and customer service. This experience enables them to develop the knowledge of customer needs and wants, customer buying processes and their competition. This knowledge enables the marketing graduate to quickly move to greater sales responsibility or responsibility over the broader range of marketing issues within the organization. This can also lead to general management responsibility for the organization’s total operation.
