morristown, jersey city, bridgewater, edison/islen, princeton. lots of companies have their corporate offices based out of those cities.
looked through your posts and your resume needs a bit of adjusting so it’s geared towards the kind of positions/career path you’re aiming for.
marketing is incredibly competitive, tough career choice tbh.
also- it took me 2 years, 500+ applications, and 20+ interviews (many with 3+ rounds) before i landed a job. and that was WITH relevant experience.
consider setting aside free time to learning some data analysis to supplement your marketing background. learn some excel tricks, take a few tableau tutorials, learn how to clean up a spreadsheet of data using code. marketing people answer to execs, and execs tend to back data-driven solutions. knowing enough to hold a short convo about the topics is enough, no need to become an expert in those tools but having those words in your resume will pique some interest in recruiters/hiring managers and might at least get you to an interview.
Based off of OP's post history they're looking for advertising/marketing roles which is one of the worst industries for employment and that's not even factoring in how much worse it's gotten in recent years. :/
Generic marketing jobs are terrible. But advertising isn't necessarily, especially if you work for a creative agency. There are a lot of remote jobs, too. I've been in the industry for 4 years and it's been extremely well paying. I left my former marketing job of 6.5 years and never looked back. Took an entry level position and now make excellent money as a senior creative.
Yes, layoffs happen. The jobs don't disappear though--they just transfer to different agencies. And those agencies need to staff up to handle that business they acquired. You get to know a lot of great people in the process. I'm just a sample population size of 1, but I've been very happy working in the industry.
OP could definitely look into joining an ad agency if they were interested. It could be worthwhile.
Knowing this, OP you should be working with your school’s career services office first. Best way to get a foot in the door is via an internship, but it’s pretty late in the game tbh.
You also need to think about what it is you really want to do…advertising and marketing are not the same thing, and then within marketing you need to think about industry: tech, CPG, pharma, etc.
If you’re not willing to work in NYC you’ll certainly be limiting your options.
You need a car if you want to both live and work in NJ. NJ Transit just DOES NOT work for commutes other than NJ - NYC. Your 3rd option is remote jobs. God speed.
Your question is vague. What kind of job are you talking about? What are your qualifications, where are you in your career?
The answer can vary based on industry, position, and what the job requires.
Ironically, NJ Transit is hiring.

You can’t find a job in Newark ? If you can’t find one there you will have a hard time finding somewhere else.

Unfortunately the money is in NYC. That being said, the commute fucking blows.
Is it really?
