NOC Code Help

[Karen111]

I am working at a Canadian TV station as a Sales Coordinator. I would like to ask your opinion on NOC code based on the wording of my employment letter. Please see below for job descriptions:
• Prepare contracts and traffic orders for television commercials;
• Enter sales orders into the Broadcasting System. Maintain sales orders in the systems
• Communicate changes with advertisers, and negotiate make goods;
• Revise orders to indicate spot non-availability (and at times negotiate NA replacements);
• Organize and distribute reports that support the sales staff;
• Assist in the co-ordination and hosting of presentations at agencies with the sales executives

Would anyone give me some advises? It's hard to meet anyone applying under this job category... so I don't know where to ask...

I am thinking to apply under NOC 1123 - Professional occupations in advertising, marketing and public relations...Do you think this will be a good idea? any advises?

 

[Matt the Aussie]

in my opinion 1123 is for people who build marketing strategies.

What you do is pure sales coordination, something more into customer service.

Agreed. "Professional" as used in this sense is executive level and the job description given does not match that.

 

[Karen111]

Thanks everyone...
Do you have any NOC codes recommended for my job descriptions?

Well... unfortunately, media sales representatives would be NOC 6411 (skill level C - not "skilled") ....

http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2011/ProfileKeyword.aspx?val=6&val1=6411&val11=media+sales&val12=0&val13=0&val14=&val15=0&val16=0

... and it sounds like you are not a sales representative but support staff, so your position is unlikely to be classified as 'skilled.' Although administrative assistant (1241) and administrative officer (1221) are skilled, they are two of the small number of NOCs that are currently excluded from the CEC program.

 

[Karen111]

so Here is what I do at work:

As a television station sales coordinator, I work with media buyers and advertising agencies who purchase televisions' and radio commercial spots to advertise their products. And I report to my sales executives who is my direct manager. The sales executives does most of the major negotiations such as annual commitment discount (if advertisers decide to commit more money annually, then they get more discount on their spots) and I do little minor negotiations in daily basis. For example, if their spots did not air due to a last minute program change, I negotiate makegoods (give them other programmings to make it up..)

Also, the buyers give me and my sales executives(my direct reporting manager) the projected budgets how much they can spend for the upcoming advertisement campaigns. Then, I find them suitable TV shows for their products... also negotiate the spot prices, book the spots, prepare contracts (contains the list of the programs they bought, # of estimated audiences, program information and time) to inform the buyers what programs they bought...

Also when there are discrepancies on the airing on spots, I negotiate discrepancies resolutions as well..


Any advises? I really don't know what to pick for the NOC code now... I don't have any friends working in the same industry. I tried to ask to my company HR and/or co-workers, they are not familier with any visa processes and NOC code (my company doesn't hire foreigners in general..) They are not so helpful..

I will really appreciate if anyone can help me with the NOC issues...

 

[Karen111]

I am not sure if my hr will help me with putting the NOC code on the reference letter because even getting a letter with job descriptions caused so much trouble with HR already (as I mentioned, my company doesn't support foreigner workers and their visa processes..... I know this sucks..). But I guess I still have to try.....

If the HR says no, I will ask them to put some job qualifications as follows:

- Agency experience and University degree/equivalent is required..
- 2-3 years of experience in sales

I am also thinking to write a letter stating what I do (probably emphasize that I perform lots of sales executives roles) and attach it to Schedule 8 - Canadian Experience Class...

I would appreciate your feedback on my plans above....

 

[Karen111]

As per your advises, I spoke with my HR manager and the kind lady promised me to help me with the NOC issue..

Here is the revised reference letter:

do you think these revised job descriptions and qualifications finally fit into NOC 1123?

 

[Karen111]

Should I ask the HR manager if I can take out "Sales" from job title so it will be just "Media Coordinator"?

because I think my job more related to providing media marketing strategies to the advertisers than sales...
Or should I emphasis on specialty sales and try 6221 Technical sales specialists – wholesale trade?

For the NOC 1123, I bolded the parts that match to my revised job descriptions.. would you please take a look and let me know if you still think I should go with the sales??
