Why am i still jobless, why why why?? ........PLEASE HELP #jobsearch #career #interview #employment
11 months ago i posted my concern on Jobcase seeking advice from fellow jobcasers & mentors about my frustration of not finding a proper job in New York City. Though i got some amazing responses from few of the mentors what i should be doing to bring more weightage to my resume & skills. Post the conversation i made up my mind that i wouldn't give up on my dreams easily.
I ensured that i would work doubly hard & will reach my goals in life. I started learning new skills, started writing blogs, doing pro-bono work, have been active on social media & getting like minded followers hoping that this would fetch me a better job.
Despite of putting all my efforts...i still feel i'm unable to get an interview call. Being from a marketing domain my core skills have always been into branding, communication, social media etc.. what is it that i'm falling short of? where am i lacking behind?
My inbox is flooded is with direct marketing interview calls from companies, why i'm unable to find a right kind of job. I'm not demanding too much right now all i want is an entry level position in Social media marketing space or anything that matches my profile.
KINDLY SUGGEST
Hi Riddhi, Yes, I remember your post. Sorry to hear you haven't been able to launch your desired career yet but don't loose hope. You've been busy developing skills and networking over the last 11 months so although it doesn't seem like it; you're getting closer! Remember, don't get caught up on job titles and focus more on job descriptions. The NYC professional job market is competitive that's why "who you know" is vital to securing a suitable job opportunity.
There's a Media Career event happening in the city next month you should make plans to attend. The event plans are to bring together employers, job seekers, and media industry professionals together to discuss industry news, career development, and employment opportunities. This event sounds like the perfect place for you to ask questions, get feedback, and most importantly make connections with other industry professionals. Remember, a personal job referral shift a lot of weight in your direction during the corporate hiring process. Go to NYC Games & Digital Media Career Fair 2017 for more details and register.
Stay encouraged, focused, and Don't Give Up!
