How do you break into the UK marketing industry?
I have a marketing communications masters degree, but I am finding it hard to get even an interview for graduate roles. Any thoughts.

Arts is a form of recreation, not a career. Arts administrators are being laid off, not hired. Do a straight business degree and enjoy arts on the side. I withdrew from a graduate arts administration program on the last day on which I could obtain a full refund after I investigated the job market and found that the only available jobs were in fund raising.

The MBA does not have minors and majors. Universities don't grant MBA in information systems, or MBA in finance, or MBA in arts administration. The MBA is a general degree preparing students for management positions in any level of a business, up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. By the time you finish the first year you'll be able to decide which concentration interests you. The MBA is not like an MS degree that concentrates study in a single field and prepares students for high level staff or research positions. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a chemistry major does not get an MS in accounting. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law. Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, engineering, and many other fields. The arts require good management just as does any industry, but jobs may be harder to obtain. However, the MBA opens many doors. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but many accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. MBAs with good grades are in high demand and they command good starting salaries. To find the MBA program that best fits your background, criteria and preferences, a good source of information is the Official MBA Guide, a free public service at http://officialmbaguide.org. You can use it to select programs in specific geographic regions, specific concentrations, or specific types of programs, such as full-time, part-time, executive, distance learning, and accelerated. You can specify criteria that are important to you and get a ranked list of programs that best fit those criteria. From the Guide you can go directly to a school's URL or contact schools by email.

I would get a masters. I know someone who got a masters degree in biology, then went into marketing. He is doing quite well. The main thing is to get a masters in some field, then kick ass on the job.

It depends - looking at ROI - look not just at the cost but the time and if you really like working in communication and media - if so yes, it may give you more flexibility but not necessarily more money at the beginning - without any experience your degree is just a check mark - if you can work and go to grad school part-time you find that though it will take a bit longer it will be a greater experience as you will be able to both look at the applications from a practical view as well as having some much need work experience to add value to future earning and make your ROI faster - also some employers have money to support further education among their staff- you might want to look into these type of jobs
