Hello, congratulations on graduating! Getting that first post graduation job is always tricky. I would look into paid internships or volunteer opportunities to help you build your resume/experience and network any chance you get z

Congrats! What a huge accomplishment. Not sure how many places you have applied, but I would suggest to keep applying. This is a great time to get a job now that everyone is coming back to work and many budgets have probably been recently set.

Where are you located? I would consider reaching out to some event management companies aroun you to see if they have a role for you

Large event companies like Encore offer training programs.
Network on LinkedIn and ask for advice on where you can get experience. Reach out to professors for guidance, they should be invested in your future and connected in the industry.
Volunteering is also great. And don’t discount small events you’ve planned.

Congrats! Applying to jobs that feel like you’re not 100% qualified for can be daunting, but if you’re reading the description and it feels like it’s something you’d excel at, go for it.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.

I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
