Professional job right out of college??

I'm basically asking for a little advice for career opportunities post college. I graduated from a solid private college and majored in finance and marketing. I took a job right of college as a Auto Claims Representative for an insurance company. It has been challenging, but a good experience. I make mistakes since i'm new, but i work hard and get along with my coworkers. I';m the youngest on my team. I've trained for 3 months, and worked for about 4 months. My primary goal would be to get into the marketing department they have at the company on site. I heard that you have to put in at least 1-2 years of quality experience at this position, since they hired me for this in the first place. I recently got moved to another team to fill a need since they needed a qualified rep for some other states. Any advice on how to craft my career path to where i want it to go either with this company or another one??\Professional job right out of college??
Try searching for careers that you want to enter in; look at the job requirements, then study up on those skills/traits/characteristics. Build up those skills by volunteering for various community groups/events/non-profits -- add this experience in your resume (market yourself well on paper--- that's another topic). Look for paid for volunteer gigs on Craigslist where you can use/practice those new skills; place on your resume/portfolio, then market yourself highlighting what you've done when it comes time for the interview.
