I have been working in TV,film, branded content and beyond for a while. I have been freelance over the years and recently have been trying to make the jump into more of a corporate/ full time position but have struggled finding my niche as I just get an immediate, NO or they will say that others are more qualified. Could be my resume as I have tried to blend a corporate resume with a media one. Would love anyone's insight.

Hey, sorry to hear that you've been having a hard time finding a job. It's a pretty tough market at the moment so don't be too harsh on yourself for not having traction. That being said, are you submitting the exact same resume every time? These days you have to make sure that you're following "ATS optimization" for your resume or you won't get anywhere. I suggest you look more into that and tailor your resume each time according to the job posting. Best of luck!

Ive tried to adapt resumes while applying but I've also been getting a resounding No, or just them going with more qualified candidates. I don't know what my next move should be. Please advise if you can. Thanks

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
