I need help finding an entry-level job in marketing in the Los Angeles area (although I live in Riverside right now). I'm sort of flailing in the dark here; nobody I know works in marketing so I don't have anyone to ask for help.
I just graduated college less than a year ago with a B.A. in Sociology. In college, I had some work experience as a food service worker, volunteered as a crisis counselor at a suicide hotline, and volunteered as a research assistant in three different labs.
After college, I worked as a clinical research coordinator. I resigned after 8 months because the development opportunities that were promised to me did not materialize. I also realized I wanted to work in marketing instead.
Two months ago, I went the self-teach route to learn marketing. I started a blog on WordPress, learned some HTML & CSS, learned about SEO, got an Ahrefs subscription, and learned how to use it, got certified in Google Analytics, learned how to market on Instagram, did hashtag research on Iconosquare, and etc.
I started applying for jobs in Riverside and got rejected for both digital marketing coordinator and social media coordinator positions. I feel totally gutted right now and really alone. Can someone in marketing please advise me on what I'm doing wrong?
(Also, if more seasoned marketers could take a look at my blog, resume, and cover letter, I'd love to PM you for feedback!) |
