Recently moved here from Texas. I’ve done 4 internships so far after graduating in May. The agency I interned for this past summer didn’t have the budget to convert. Any advice on landing that first full-time role? Either remote or in Chicago?

Go to networking events and take advantage of the fact you have an internship right now that shows you’re able to get in the door at all. Try to meet other people and get your foot in other agencies.

Do proactive work and submit for jr level awards, post about it on LinkedIn.

Also, I think a lot of this ^ advice is feeling repetitive cause a lot of people are having a hard time with our industry recession. I’d consider other industries too as you’re looking.

Great advice btw. I’ll definitely look into events. The only thing with the advice about work and awards is I have more experience in strategy than creative.

Not just networking events, reach out to creatives who work at the agencies you want to work at, and ask them to meet.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!

I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
