So I've decided to make my big ridiculous MySpace profile work for me by using it to make connections in the Sound/Music/Film industry. I graduate in December and a job ain't gonna find itself. So anyway, this girl leaves me a few comments here and there, and her profile says she works in "Event Marketing" and wants to meet and network with people in the industry...Now, if "What is Event Marketing?" was a game show question, I'd guess she markets EVENTS...Concerts, Conventions, etc...Stuff with sound sytems. So I leave her a nice comment about what I do and what I'll have a Bachelor's degree in soon, and she replies with (I'm going to copy/paste this) "HEY! I KNOW WHAT AUTO/SOUND ENGINEERING IS AND IT DOESN'T RELATE TO THE EVENT MARKETING THAT I DO. I MARKET PRODUCTS TO PEOPLE BY MOUTH AND THEY EITHER AGREE WITH ME AND BUY THE PRODUCT OR THEY DONT! :-P"
"I MARKET PRODUCTS"...I could just leave it at that, but I'm going to continue to rant. That's product marketing, right?! And where did she get the word AUTO from? Does she think I plan on working on cars at events?! Am I crazy or is the rest of the world crazy? I really feel like it's the rest of the world, but Jerry...I just don't know sometimes.
