So I am a recent graduate, trying to find work. I have my BS in Communications, and am currently working on my MBA in Project Management. I am looking for jobs in PR, Communications Coordinator, Broadcast Media etc. I have been applying to jobs since I was still in school in January, but when I say nobody has taken a chance on me I mean absolutely nobody. I have rearranged my resume, LinkedIn, cover letters over countless times and yet can't land a job. What do I do? I am genuinely lost

Unfortunately, this is when it’s like trying to land that first job at a college, right. What kind of intern experience do you have. Your intern experience is going to determine whether or not you can find employment easily. In the meantime, you can look at freelance sites and do side work to build up a portfolio.

I have internship experience as a marketing and communications intern with a sports media company. I also have done a lot of work on campus dealing with PR and web releases. it just feels like nobody is even giving me a chance thats the issue

Do you have a portfolio? When you don't have job experience, it helps when you can show your skills. If you don't have a portfolio, I would recommend working on drafting one, even if you have to create a few projects to showcase your skills.

Def hate the ageism about it when interviewing. I dress in athleisure wear most of the time outside. Do I need to dress more adult then?

Hello! I'm currently getting my Bachelor's Degree and I'll be graduating in May 2023. My major focuses on Spanish Translation, I have a minor in Japanese, and I'll be receiving a certificate in Spanish for Professions when I graduate.

Does anyone know of any companies that are hiring in-house Spanish Translators?

A warning, i have been phished through the premise of a job interview.thats definitely a new low from scammers but verify interviews they plucked my info from indeed and through that got my info, when I got suspicious (after it was too late) I called the "hiring company" (was a real company) and they said i wasn't the only one getting duped. I can't believe people are praying on people looking for a job during a pandemic but apparently some ppl have no soul. Just wanted to share and be vigilant
