It is not necessary for you to do your postgraduate but doing so would help you advance in your career and open up more job opportunities. You can opt to work straight after degree as well.
While many fear at the thought of giving a speech in front of a crowd, you feel right at home doing it. You’ve never been one to shy away from the limelight, instead, you embrace it.
You’ll need to be able to come up with new and innovative ways to do certain tasks, and you can’t do that without being creative.
You’ll need to be able to make sure you get a short message across, to a large number of people, while conveying quite a bit of information, all at the exact same time.
This is not an industry for people who cannot take criticism. Not every idea you have is going to be well-received. Your work will pass in front of many eyes before the ad campaign is released and will undergo many changes. You may have written your best copy yet, but you're asked to start over and do it again. You must handle criticism very well. Don't take offense to being asked for changes to your work
