I am a recent graduate from the University of Miami with a subpar GPA but 2 years of experience as a Financial Analyst and other notable marketing/management roles. I am located in the NYC area and have been applying all over the place but cant seem to get any bites. Any advice or tips for a recent grad? I just want to get my foot in the door and not being too picky about salary as I can prove my value once Im there, just really struggling to get a response right now.

In my area at least, employers are being very hesitant to hire right now so part of it is probably the economic uncertainty that most are facing. That being said, I think you should take a step back and give your resume a look with fresh eyes as you are no longer looking for your first job so it should be a different document. The fact that you mention your GPA in your post makes me suspicious that it is still on there. You have 2yrs of work experience so you should be filling up the page with the things that you have accomplished and selling your skills now as a professional not as a "prior student that someone should take a chance on".

I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
