Does anyone have advice for job hunting? I’m 25 and work at CNN currently. I’m trying to progress in my career but there just doesn’t seem to be any opportunities. I’m trying to keep myself motivated but it’s tough to get no responses or plain rejections.

What is your job at CNN?

^^^ this guy. Living in conspiracy land Murica.

Find out what sucks: your interviewing skills or your resume. Your resume is a value proposition to solve a problem/pain point. An interview is a chance at selling yourself as a solution to a business problem.

Very true! Thank you

Where do you live? Are you based in Atlanta? If so, it will be more difficult than if you were in LA. Try moving internally to a coordinator position on the production side at WB /Cartoon Network etc. that will be the easiest /quickest bet.
Have you reached out to folks internally? Cold email reach out on the WBTV Scripted side? Are you part of any of the BRGs?

Thank you so much for the advice! My husband and I have talked about moving before but I think I’ll be revisiting that topic soon

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
