How do you get a job as an associate producer/junior producer nowadays? I️ have been an AP for a year and am looking to switch companies but there is absolutely NOTHING out there. I've been messaging people on LinkedIn and checking openings everyday, but haven't had any success. My more senior team members talk about getting reached out to recruiters, but I️ haven't had anyone reach out to me.

Are you looking specifically for roles at agencies? Or vendor side? Either way, have you tried asking reps? Or other agency folks to pass on your resume? Use your network.
Also, what are you saying in your emails? Do you have a reel?

like

Yes- I have an up to date reel and portfolio. I would prefer agency side as I like being apart of a project from start to finish. I have asked my reps but no one has any leads. My agency folks don't have any leads either. I usually ask people if they would like to chat to give me advice rather than straight up asking if they have any leads so that I can establish some actual relationships

1. Connections. I got my job from attending a bowling night and shmoozing.
2. I think it’ll be more difficult to transfer into a mid-level, higher position. Stick it out where you are for as long as you can. Easier to find a Sr. Producer role than lower… they want to hire people with experience who can be hands off. 1 year down isn’t necessarily enough to go higher…

I would want to move at my current title. I hate my company and I feel like my growth is being stifled

A year as an AP isn’t much. You need a few years experience and being good at what you do before people are going to be reaching out or referring you for the higher positions. Lots of dues to be paid before then.
