I just finished ad school and three internships!What agencies are hiring juniors right now? What’s the best way in? I could work anywhere, but ideally I’d be in NY, CA, or Miami. I can send my book in the DMs.

Thank you!!

That was my way in. I had just finished college and didn’t have money for ad school so did back to back internships/small freelance gigs until my book was complete enough to get that junior position. Everyone gets into the industry differently. :)

I used to find seniors or CDs on LinkedIn who worked at agencies I liked then would ask if they’d be interested in grabbing a coffee/scheduling a Zoom call to pick their brain and just get to know them (network). Most people are flattered and more than happy to. Then when an opportunity does arise, you’ll be top of mind. You’ll get there—good luck!

He keeps volunteering me for projects without checking if I have capacity and if he expected to know everything I’m working on… he would’ve thought I was just doing nothing the last 2 months. I don’t know how to address this workload balancing with him!
