Hey everyone, I’m a recent graduate trying to get my foot in the door, but it’s been really hard to find something & it doesn’t seem like many agencies are looking to hire juniors rn. I’ve been trying to contact people & show my book around. Everyone is generally very kind & give positive feedback, but there’s still no result, really. What would you recommend to do for someone in my position? Is there something I do incorrectly?

Your work is pretty cool! But like somebody else said, I recommend getting a couple more cool campaigns in there to indicate you can consistently make great work.

Haha, thank you!

Reach out/connect with as many recruiters you can find on LinkedIn (especially for agencies you actually want to work for) and or CD’s you’d want to work for/admire. Keep an eye out for job postings from said recruiters/CD’s and make moves then. Best of luck!

From my experience, it’s who you know inside that can advocate for you. I’ve seen people with horrible books or just 1 or 2 campaigns get hired cause they knew someone inside who advocated for them.
