I have worked as a content writer inhouse and with the agency as part of their marketing operations. The title when job hunting always falls under marketing operations.
In NOC however, there is a separate code 5121 or authors and writers: https://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p3VD.pl?CLV=4&CPV=5121&CST=01012011&CVD=122376&Function=getVD&MLV=4&TVD=122372

A bit of my profile: i create content to educate the audience to make an informed decision. this would be through website content, newsletters or social media. This was done as part of the marketing teams. These all are driving the marketing efforts for the company. This role also included handling social media. I have used this skill to apply for a job as a marketing associate/coordinator.

My problem:
The job description does not match the one under NOC 1123 0r 5121. I have still tried to tweak it to match the profile.

My question is >>> should the NOC be 1123 (marketing professionals, however, the same job title is not listed by NOC) OR choose 5121??
I already have ITA under 1123. If I choose this will I get rejected? Can I explain via a letter of explanation of how it is a marketing function and improve my chances

Please guide experts.

Hey there. Were you able to resolve this? I am pretty much on the exact same boat.
Hey @bill.s.preston I couldn't find any help in this matter. I had sent an email to CIC but no such luck, I am getting my application through a consultant.. After much convincing about my profile, I was able to go forward with 1123, but I am still very afraid if it is the right one!

Can you tell me the regular duties under your profile? They have this thing as New Media writing under 5121 which too is very confusing.
