creativity Employers were often looking for candidates with 1 to 3 years of experience in roles including
sales and sales support, digital marketing and social media, customer service, communications, research,
and general marketing experience. While university curricula cover most of these areas, lack of practical
experience may limit the competitiveness of job seekers

In marketing education especially, the need for continuous improvement in academic curricula becomes
crucial in a field that is rapidly changing because of the growth of digital and social media marketing, and
new technologies and channels. Yet there is a “disconnect between marketing education and marketing
practice” (Harrigan & Hulbert, 2011, p. 253). - Harrigan, P., & Hulbert, B. (2011). How can marketing
academics serve marketing practice? The new marketing DNA as a model for marketing education.

Furthermore, the average importance and satisfaction levels for marketing skills were compared to the
overall importance (4.1) and satisfaction (3.3) means of the aggregated skills,
that is, marketing skills, general skills (these included the skills communication, team work, problem
solving, technology, initiative and planning) and personal attributes (these attributes include, among
others, commitment and self esteem). It was found that both importance and satisfaction levels of
marketing skills were lower. Finally, businesses preferred (µ = 3.9) graduates with work experience and
felt that universities were not preparing graduates for the
workforce (µ = 2.8).=> McClymont, H., Volkov, M., Gardiner, M., Behjat, N., & Geoghegan, N. (2005,

All respondents agreed that an applicant should be motivated with communication skills and a hard
working attitude indicated by 99% and 98% of respondents - Dolnicar, S., & Stern, D. (2003). What Do
Australian Practitioners’ Expect from Marketing Graduates?
Digital marketing is defined as the way of doing marketing activities through digital channels and digital
platforms to deliver marketing messages to users and to attract customers to purchase products or
services (Mandy, 2020; Yamil, 2019). The main difference between digital marketing and online
marketing is that the digital marketing is the whole set of the marketing activities and the online
marketing is just a part of the digital marketing activities. For example, the application store in the smart
phones which could be downloaded different types of apps for online food order, online payment or
online call for taxi (cab) are considered as digital marketing
They lack
skills that are peripheral rather than essential or complementary. In particular, the curriculum does not
include elementsbsuch as how to design and write corporate e-mails.
The third important finding of this study emerged from interviewing the dyads (graduates and their
employers). Graduates have to be able to demonstrate agility in their transition from novices to
competent professionals. Although employers emphasized the importance of soft skills, such as
communication and analytical skills, at the initial stage of their career, graduates have to be prepared to
show an appropriate blend of those soft skills and a sound knowledge of marketing to be successful. It is
apparent that graduates are not aware that they have to embrace a dynamic pathway on this transition
from graduates to professionals, to master their role as marketing professionals. This has implications
for academia to design both content and application in the curriculum communication skill
These
skills are often the first predicament faced by recent graduates as they adapt to the entry-level position.
Thus, marketing
