This is in response to Jackie Higgins' post: The Four P's

The marketing mix does play a huge role in achieving a job. You touched upon many great points using the four P's when finding a job. "Place" as you stated is an important aspect to consider. As you said, one must figure out how far the job is from your home and what the cost from getting from point A to point B would be. Like you said, transportation is a factor depending on the location of the job. If you job is in New York City or Boston, it may be required to park on the outskirts of the town and take a train into the city. Not only would one have to worry about gas prices, but also the cost of the train as well. You stated a good point about promotion. If someone is shy and withdrawn, it may hinder their ability to get the job over someone else who is equal to you in qualifications. "Promotion" should be the time when the individual "sells" them self to the company that are trying to be apart of. Whether that be selling them self in a job interview or even on a resume. The last P to the marketing mix is price. I completely agree with your idea on "price". It is hard to talk about your salary with a potential employer but it must be talked about. Like you said, you do not want to work for nothing but at the same time, you don't want to seem greedy. I personally think salary should be talked about at the second interview with an employer. When do you think salary rate should be talked about with a potential employer?
