I am about to graduate with my Econ degree in 2 weeks, but I have no job. I interviewed with a large bank w/ an Orlando office for an analyst position, but have had no luck yet. I know Excel, Tableau, and a little SQL. I have a 3.2 GPA and a few internships, but nothing on my resume is spectacular. I don’t want work anywhere besides the Orlando, Tampa/SWFL, or Miami areas, so I only target companies there or remote jobs. What can I do to improve my job search? It’s going nowhere

It's a quantity --> quality situatuon. You gotta fill your pipeline aggressively before you see any results.

How many resumes are you sending out daily? I'd say, 10-15 a day should be your goal at a minimum.
How many websites are you checking for new postings daily?
Are you reaching out to recruiters pro-actively?

Looking for a job is a full-time job. Stay focused, it will happen.

Landing that first job out of college is really difficult and honestly, you may need to settle a little just get land something and get that experience on the resume. You will also need to network some, so look around for events and people you can connect with on sites like LinkedIn

Have you been through an internship program before? It is really difficult to land an entry level job without having no experience at all. You should try applying online and onsite. Just before I graduated College I used to join social groups involved in a career of my choice. I attend conventions and socialize with people in the event, and I push in building my network. I eventually met my current employer in one of the events. I think you should do the same. it may require a little more effort but that's how it is. If it works for me, then it may work for you.

Look at an Engagement Financial Advisor position with Deloitte. They’re always hiring for those positions.

I applied to the EFA position already

Nice

Hi! You should include your internship program if you had one. Networking is really helpful, especially to fresh grads.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
