What is social entrepreneurship?
It's a program where you learn entrepreneurship, but in a social way.
Can you afford to do an internship? I feel like the job market is even worse for first time employees. But an internship shows you've done the work and you have some on-the-job experience. That's what I would do.
That's ridiculous. How can they expect three years of experience for an entry-level position? And I'm sure it was entry-level pay!
I'd start by signing up on UpWork and trying to land any freelance work you can. Even if it's not glamorous, it's both 1) money and 2) content to add to your resume and portfolio. I'd also work on rounding out that portfolio either by volunteering or through personal projects. A degree is great, but employers really want to see experience, which puts you at a disadvantage being a new graduate in a terrible job market. Volunteering and contract work might seem counterintuitive, but they're both great ways to showcase your abilities to prospective employers.
Yep. That's how I got my first job. Wanted to work in social, had no "real" experience, ended up volunteering at a wildlife rehab and running their social accounts while I waited tables to pay rent. Parlayed that into an entry level agency role and things took off from there.
