Online Advertising Manager ranked in CareerCast's 10 Best Jobs of 2012.
Two things happened within the last few weeks that have reminded me of just how cool my job is.
First, I was reading my iPad at the gym a few weeks ago and came across a story about the “Best and Worst Jobs of 2012.” My curiosity forced me to open it, even though not seeing marketing occupations listed among the top numbers in the past few years has been more than a little depressing.
Guess what? “Online Advertising Manager” just made the Careercast.com Top Ten list of Best Jobs. That’s part of what I do here at HRB so I’m finally in the company of the software engineers!
It seems that not only the current value, but the potential for job growth, in online advertising is finally being recognized. Since online media has such a huge, and constantly increasing, daily influence on people, more work in the online media area appears not only logical but likely.

The other “how cool my job is” reminder was my recent opportunity to present to a class of Mt. Mercy University graduate students. Being a marketing class, I shared my role and experiences with Internet marketing and how that dovetails with what they’ve been learning about developing strategies. The class had mostly non-traditional students with work experience in not only marketing, but also in finance and IT. They had some truly insightful questions, which spoke both to their interest and also to my good fortune at being engaged in the ever-changing online climate.
Having to organize and speak about the things I do on a daily basis really revved me up. I’m making another presentation on May 17 and I can’t wait. (This time though I’ll avoid the coughing attack by bringing some water and cough drops.)
