A bit of a challenging question. Although the simple response is that a degree alone will not get you the job. Your other skills, activities, experiences and interests should count just as much as the subject you have studied.

Focus on the constituent skills of your particular degree. For example, if you had studied Psychology you could describe in detail how any or all of the following skills would be of use to you in a Marketing situation:

* the understanding and analysis of human behavior and experience

* using scientific methods

* analyzing and solving problems

* numeracy skills.

* use of information technology

* communication skills both written and oral.
