Use your creativity

Digital marketing is built on creativity and content that really captures your audience’s attention. If you have an idea that you think would be successful, give it a go. The more creative you are the more likely you will get noticed and land your dream job. It is also important to remember, if an idea doesn’t work, don’t worry. Instead, learn from it and keep it in mind for the future by working out why that particular idea didn’t work out as well as you thought it might.

Create a winning CV
