Hi.
I’m about to graduate with a degree in Public Policy with four years of internship experience related to campaigns, lobbying, and media. I’ve been working nonstop and usually full-time since I was 16.
Most of my classmates are aiming for grad school or to stay in local government, I’m hoping to move to the East Coast or South and work in government/public relations.
I’ve been churning out applications for non-profits, lobbying firms, government relations teams at corporations. I’m limited in what I can apply for because I can’t receive credit for internships, though it’s appalling how many able companies are unwilling to pay interns. It feels weird to have worked several paid internships as an undergrad and to be considering taking an unpaid internship after graduation, though I haven’t received serious interest at all.
Entry-level jobs seem extremely menial; basically all Secretary positions - I’ve been a secretary for four years, and while I understand a lot of entry level work is basically still an internship, I’m not even heading back regarding those positions. I’m 50+ applications deep and I’ve gotten maybe 4 automated rejections.
I’m cold-calling and emailing industry leaders for advice, asking old supervisors to keep me in mind, but even my biggest advocates have told me that without a master’s, I won’t get meaningful work. I just can’t afford that right now and personally want to gain work experience first.
Pardon my French, but what do I do? I have a great resume, but I don’t think it’s even getting read. Anyone in a similar field have insight? Sorry for the ramble, lightly losing my mind.
