I'm interest working in advertising. I have a data analytics and digital marketing background, and I have been looking for an entry-level job for a while. I applied for associate roles. I was thinking about creating a porfolio but I don't know how to start. I started networking last year. The question is how I will navigate this job market and land a role.

“Working in advertising” is a very broad statement - what specifically are you interested in? Are you interested in account management, strategy, creative, operations etc.

Hi fishes, I attempted an interview for software engineer post at Amdocs. I cleared the first round of interview and later contacted the recruiter for the same. The recruiter replied by saying they will let me know once panel will be available.

It’s been around 2 weeks I haven’t heard from the recruiter.

Can anyone guide me and help me with the same?
