pilot,*school teacher/university lecturer *politician/journalist,*manager of a company/manager of a charity,3,2.,Read the article and find out why more people prefer a career in marketing than in sales.Complete the table below with reasons from the text.,-,sounds better at dinner parties,-,has an air of glamour(whereas sales has an unglamorous image),-(,many graduates believe)you work on creative PR campaigns and go on lots of jollies,-,marketing seems more attractive(than sales),-,it isnt as bad as myths suggest,-,unlike marketing,sales is tangible,-,it has a direct impact on a companys results,-,you meet people and communicate with different personalities,-,in sales theres a buzz of a target-driven environment,-,you can manage millions of pounds of business,-,make customers happy,-,its incredibly rewarding,4,Not sold on sales?,Hi,I work in sales.not a great conversation opener,is it?Not like being a fighter pilot or a director of Medecins sans Frontieres,for example.Unfortunately,a job in sales cant quite shake off its unglamorous image or associations with something rather dishonest.This all means recruitment problems for graduate employees.On the other hand,marketing a less direct way of selling a product is rather more popular as a career choice,and sounds better at dinner parties.,Why?Susan Stevens,head of HR at Toshiba,believes that marketing retains an air of glamour and that graduates expect to work on creative campaigns with PRs and lots of jollies.But,on the other hand,sales means door-to-door work and cold calling.Yet this image is misleading.Sales professionals in the UK outnumber people in marketing by about 200,000.This is partly because those who do fall into sales work realize it isnt anything like as awful as the myths suggest.,Stevens says that Toshiba recently had to market its graduate scheme as a sales and marketing programme because we knew sales alone wouldnt attract people.The gamble paid off.Last year the majority of recruits chose sales,including Ross Snowdon,a marketing graduate.Unlike marketing,sales is tangible.It has direct impact on a companys results.Its all about meeting people and communicating with different personalities.,5,Part of the reason why graduates are often not interested in sales is because it isnt seen as a profession.Clarissa Gent,a chemistry graduate and sales manager at Rackspace Managed Hosting,an IT support firm,says:Careers departments dont talk about sales and there is a lack of education about the different levels you can go to with it.I always thought marketing seemed more attractive,but it wasnt the dynamic world Id imagined.Then I talked to people in sales and realized that it is possible to be passionate about it.It soon became apparent that I was much more suited to sales.Now I speak to customers every day in the buzz of a target-driven environment.Its fantastic.,Tom Moody,a commercial director for Proctor and Gamble,says that sales can be managing millions of pounds of business and making sure the customers happy.Its incredibly rewarding.Now theres a convincing sales pitch if I ever heard one!,6,3.,Read the text again and answer
