Hi! I am a new media and communications graduate looking to get into marketing. If anyone has any tips please feel free to share!

I am finding it very hard in the current market ot get a job as I am on a graduate visa. I have a strong passion and am very determined to get into this field.

  • Hi. It's great that you've already decided on a direction. My advice is to start by creating a portfolio of projects, even if they are still academic or personal. It's important to show potential employers your practical skills. Also, don't forget about networking: try to find internships, volunteer projects or freelancing to gain experience. Use LinkedIn actively, connect to professional communities and boldly apply for positions, even if not all requirements match. Good luck, and don't give up!
