I would just really like to get some advice and get an outsider’s opinion. I’m on mobile, so please excuse any formatting errors.
So I graduated from my university in December with a BA in Media and Information and a minor in animation. My focus is on motion graphic animation; After Effects and Premiere are basically my life. I tried to get as involved as I possibly could while at school. I joined film-making clubs (and became the lead post production supervisor), I worked on independent student films, I freelanced, I got a paid videographer position through one of the colleges at my university that I had the summer after my freshman year until I graduated, all while attending school and graduating a semester early.
I know there’s always going to be more things I could have done, but I tried to get involved and get as much experience as I could.
And I am good at what I do. I know there’s always going to be things to improve on and I’m constantly practicing and gaining new skills, but I do have an eye for details and I love animation and motion graphics and I have a real passion for it. My previous employer told me they loved having me work for them and that I’ll be a great addition to my next workplace, and I have many references from my old job and several professors from my university as well. I’ve had them go through my demo reel and resume so I have had feedback from professionals in the industry.
So I’ve been applying to entry level Motion Graphic positions and I have been getting responses back and interviews, but every single time I get told they’re looking for someone with more experience.
I just got off a phone interview with a recruiter who had seen my demo reel and wanted to interview me, but when we talked about my experience she said they were looking for someone with more. She told me my demo reel looked as professional as someone with several years in the industry, which was why she contacted me in the first place, and she really liked my work, but that her manager most likely was going to choose someone with more experience.
She gave me her personal contact info and said if there were any other positions at their company that were suitable for me she’d let me know, and she told me not to be discouraged and that my reel is great, especially for being right out of college and that the right job will come along, but I can’t help get a little frustrated. Especially because every rejection I have gotten has been because of my experience level, so I’m just a little lost right now and my confidence shaken.
I know I have the skills and motivation to do well, I just need to figure out how to display that to employers.
I guess I’m just looking for some tips on what I can do. I’m doing freelance work at the moment, but I really would like to get a full time job.
This got a lot longer than I intended it to be, so thank you if you stuck around to read it all.
TLDR; I have the skill set but not the experience to get a job. What can I do to prove I’m worth hiring?
