I'm a senior at a small private college. The only thing that is holding me back from receiving my degree is an internship. My major is Bus. Management, although i was really turned on to advertising while taking and advertising and marketing class last semester. Now I'm not very qualified in the field, but it is something i would like to make a career out of. My problem is, I haven't found an employer who wants an intern who "wants to know everything." They all want someone who specializes in a certain dept. That's where my problem comes in. I dont know where to start. I did some research on different positions at advertising agencies and i think i would like one day to work up to an account manager position. But i know everybody needs to start somewhere. I am willing to do an unpaid internship to learn more about the business and also prove my motivation to learn, actually that's one of the reasons I joined this site, as well as a couple others. Can anybody help give me an idea where i should start/apply for.
