Advertising Career in Greece (ellines voithiste!)?

Question

i'm majoring in advertising. more specifically i wish to work in an advertising agency one day as an art director. I was wondering how much of in demand are those jobs in greece and what are the going rates. Also, if i was to get a degree from the U.S would it help me find a job in greece?

Answer 1

The advertising job market in Greece is quite prosperous and salaries are relatively high compared to other sectors. Greek language is usually required. Your degree will only be evaluated by the company that will hire you for as long as you apply for a job in the private sector. Most companies are located in Athens. If you apply in the public sector (I guess you won't), you need a degree accreditation from http://www.doatap.gr/

Good luck!

Answer 2

Advertising is solely on the private sector and your degree will only carry the value of your ability to work in the sector. You will have to prove your abilities with some work. Being a highly competitive sector it makes job requirements very high and your degree unless is of some renown school will have very little weight .

Greek must be essential and other languages an asset.

Finding a job may be a little difficult, even more so that if you will not have the reference of someone who knows someone. Not necessarily politician.

Once you set your mind to work on the sector you will have to make some sacrifices at least at the start.
