I was looking for marketing jobs on LinkedIn.com and I came across a Marketing Assistant Job with Lesman. They were looking for an entry level marketer with a undergraduate degree in Marketing. After looking through the qualifications I felt confident that could compete for this position.
I had a phone interview with a marketing representative of Lesman. During the interview I mentioned I was getting my certification in SEO and the interviewer was surprised. She told me that they were planning on hiring within the next month but because I had experience in SEO and SEM that they were willing to put off the hiring if I wanted the job. This was because they were planning to spend money on training the new hire and If they were to hire me, they wouldn't need to spend the money training. The last ten minutes of the interview was spent debating the importance of SEO to the importance of SEM. I feel confident that the experience I gained in Todd Kelsey's Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing classes have put me a step ahead of my competition when searching for jobs in marketing.
