Anyone in the industry that can offer some advice/insight:
Recently graduated with a BA in General Design this past Spring ‘21. And currently finishing a certificate in UX. I’ve having a hard time landing an internship/entry level position (haven’t gotten an interview). I don’t have a strong network due to COVID hitting during my jr/snr of undergrad. I want to break into my industry and leave my coffee shop management job of 4 years. I have my portfolio set up and my resume. Any advice/insight?

I’m an FA at ML, been in the role for 1 year and 8 months, but have 23 years of industry experience. Quarterly, I have a performance review call with my Market Executive and until today never heard anything negative… my growth is slower than I’d like and definitely I’m sure that’s why, but today he said last time “they” wanted to give me a letter of education and he talked “them” out of it. First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?
