I moved to LA in February and quickly realized the U.S. hiring system is unique. Plenty of jobs, yet landing one isn’t easy. No offers yet, and I’m unsure what to improve. Considering a resume review.

Tomorrow, I’ll try DoorDash.

For those in the creative field—how did you get started? Are referrals really key? If you know someone looking for a graphic/motion designer with video and photography skills, let me know!

Willing to start with a minimal salary for experience.

It would be better to attach something from my works, of course, but I just downloaded the application and haven't figured out what to download yet

I have all the work permits, everything is fine with it and everything is legal 🫶. Of course, I thought it would be more than enough 😅

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide. My main argument to choose blockchain is the easy entry with little experience and high salary, I plan on growing my skills during the bear market and get a job once the market recovers. Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.
