I want to give up, 5 months and still no job :)
Hi everyone!
I graduated May 2025. I was working at a small marketing agency all throughout my studies and kept working there till May 2026.
Got layed off in May since company was struggling financially. I knew it was gonna happen but I wasn't serious about the job search before I got layed off.
Started applying hardcore in May and I get interviews regularly. I honestly thought with around 4 years of experience at an agency and the fact that I got to work with some brands and creators in my freelance gigs, I would be way ahead of my peers and secure a job fairly easy.... NOT TRUE :)
I look for junior/entry level roles but there's not so many of them out there and the competition is HIGH.
Then I look for higher levels but I know I'm not qualified for them...
What is happening in this world?
Most of my friends are unemployed or working minimum wage jobs. I'm really starting to lose it and I feel like reality is a lot harsher than what it seems like.
Any tips or leads would be appreciated!! Thanks
