Moved to Oklahoma, USA from India with my partner and currently struggling to find marketing and communications roles here. Most responses I get are for D2C sales roles with Verizon or AT&T—which honestly makes me want to cry.

I have 10+ years of experience in consumer marketing and have been applying for over 3 months with little success.

If anyone has leads, referrals, or advice on navigating a pivot in a new country, I’d be so grateful!

Yeah that's tough man. But you're in Oklahoma...not exactly an advertising hub.

Moved here coz my partner got a great opportunity. Also, the thing is - I’m seeing opportunities and applying for them but just getting replies like “oh, this is too junior” or “you’re in our pipeline!” Or “it’s just been so busy, we’ll be in touch!”, or straight up silence 🙄 insanely frustrating!

Tough time for job hunting now with AI, shrinking budgets, industry consolidation, etc. Add your personal challenges, like the location/need for remote, new to the area so I assume fewer personal connections and general chaos in the economy and it gets tougher.

It’s not you. Good luck.

Probably check with your Partner’s firm if they’ll have an opportunity?
