I’ve been busy over the past few weeks working on my Miami Ad School application for the Account Planning Boot Camp. The most time-consuming part is the 10 essay questions, ranging from “Why do you want a career in Account Planning?” to “What is the animal you have most in common with and why?”

If I can give anyone who is considering applying to the MAS bootcamp any advice, it’s:

1. Read blogs about Planning, Advertising and Marketing
2. Read books about the same topics

Blogs and books have been a tremendous resource, and they’ve made writing these essays a lot easier. 

Another tool that has proved invaluable is Delicious, a social bookmarking site. I’ve been able to use it to create an easily searchable personal library of articles to complete the assignments.  It’s a great reference tool. If you’d like to see my current bookmarks and tags, you can add me to your Delicious network.
