I have spent more than 12 years buying traffic, and for a big chunk of that I have been the person reading resumes and running interviews. So I want to be honest with you up front. Most advice about breaking into digital marketing is written by people who are selling you a course or a dream. This is written by the person who decides whether you get the job.
The good news is that the bar for your first role is lower than you think, and it has almost nothing to do with a degree or a fancy certificate. It has to do with proof. In this guide I will show you exactly what I look for, how to build that proof for zero dollars, and how to walk into the interview already looking like someone I want on my team.
