I've been out of college for a year with little experience, how can I find an entry level market research job?

Market research companies tend to hire for the entry-level position of a 'focus group recruiter' who basically calls respondents with a short script and list of questions to see if they 'qualify' to participate in a round table discussion about a certain product that they may or may not use.





Perhaps you can look in your county phonebook under 'market research' or in the sunday classified section under 'marketing' or 'market research'. It can be a way to get your foot in the door and see a bit more about the process of outside clients (with the product company) and how important market research really is when improving or changing products.
