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 😅

AmLaw200 I interviewed with will likely go with a “more experienced candidate”. I’ve got 8 years and its a staff attorney role so whatever. Partner I met with was rushed from the start like he had already made up his mind. Pissed because they knew from the recruiter that I was a “diverse” candidate and they sent me the Mansfield self-identification survey days before they actually requested an interview.
