Think Other Marketing Assistant Jobs Pay Better?
Do you feel underpaid? Well, we all do, but if your peers are making significantly more money than you are by working at other firms, then perhaps other marketing assistant jobs really do pay better. Go online to a website that has marketing assistant jobs posted, and look for ones in your area with approximately the same responsibilities. Remembering that non-profit tend to pay less, compare salaries. If you see that you could be doing much better, get your CV updated and start applying for some of those jobs.
Everyone like to feel valued for their efforts at work, whether they hold marketing assistant jobs or account manager jobs. The salary is one indication of how a firm values a particular job, and everyone likes to think their contribution is worthwhile.
When you land an interview, you will be asked why you left, or want to leave your last job. You can be honest and say you did not believe the company valued the contribution of your department, but please don’t blurt out the fact that they were cheapskates. You could also just say you are looking for new challenges and experiences, even if that experience is just having enough money for food until the end of the month. Keep your explanation short, the interviewer is not looking for a list of grievances, just a short explanation.
