After submitting my resume for the Global Finance and Business Management full time position at JP Morgan (my dream job!), I got a HireVue invite the next day! However, I completed it 9 days ago and still have no response....
When do we get a response in average, and after how much time does it mean I probably am not getting an offer to continue?
Thanks!

My biggest advice for starting your career is be willing to take a job that isn't exactly what you want so that you can get your foot in the door of whatever industry you're interested in. Lean on your network as much as you can because you're right, your resume starting out isn't going to havr the history that will make it stand out against anyone else that's also starting their career. Most important skill is to come across as intelligent and someone the hiring manager will enjoy having on their team.

You're definitely on the right track with internships and freelance work! Focus on showcasing the impact you made—did you help improve processes, save time, or contribute to decision-making? Highlight transferable skills like problem-solving, communication, and analytical thinking. Quantify where possible!
