Marketing Assistant Job Description

hrnewbie

Good morning all-

I want to first start off by saying how much I love this forum site and all the useful knowledge I learn from all of you. Now I must ask a favor... I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a job description for a Marketing Assistant? If it could be tailored to an engineering firm that would be another big plus. Any information is greatly appreciated. I will be looking on O*Net as well, but comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks again.
