🔥New Webinar: How to secure Marketing and Creative roles you'll actually love🔥
Mar 14, 2026
A marketer told me something frustrating this week.
“I’ve applied for over 80 jobs. I’ve only had two interviews.”
This isn’t unusual.
In fact, it’s what happens when talented marketers approach job hunting the same way everyone else does.
No interviews. No responses. No progress.
So they apply for even more roles.
This is the biggest mistake I see marketers and creative professionals make.
They treat job hunting like admin.
Instead of a strategy.
But here’s the reality.
Most job searches fail before the first application is even sent.
Because the problem isn’t effort.
The problem is clarity and positioning.
If you don’t know exactly what role you’re targeting, you’ll apply for roles that aren’t right.
If you don’t position yourself correctly, hiring managers won’t understand why you’re the right person.
And if your strategy is simply “apply for more jobs”, you’re competing with hundreds of candidates who look exactly the same.
The marketers who land great roles don’t approach job hunting like this.
They do three things differently.
First, they get clear on their next move. Not just “I want a better job”, but the exact type of role, team, and company where they can do their best work.
Second, they position themselves properly. So hiring managers immediately understand their value.
Third, they approach the job market strategically, not reactively.
That’s the difference between a frustrating job search…
…and one that actually moves your career forward.
Next week I’m hosting a webinar where I’ll walk through this properly.
