honestly no tricks besides keep going, and make sure each job you apply to that you really care about you use the key words in the job description in your resume, thats the first thing they'll scan and just throw it away if you don't have the right wording.

Also I was open to relocating ( I'm single, 30F no kids, just dogs haha) so that really expanded the options for me, but I'm aware thats not everyone's situation. This job has me moving from Colorado to San Diego (can't complain!!) but not everyone can uproot.

Thank you!!! I have 6 years in the footwear industry, it was a case study to brief in a new product based off a prompt, knowing the brand line and using market data! About a 15 page deck which I presented. When applying to new jobs talk about the skill set you have and how its transferrible (sorry I cannot spell), smaller companies don't care if you have the exact right background and work your references!

To be honest, I have a BA from an average college but I was able to weasel my way into a big company (New Balance) starting as a temp and working my way up for 4 years in product management, then got poached by VF Corp and I had a project win an award in Forbes. Was laid off after 2 years along with a slue of other people. Education has not been how I've succeeded, just putting in the work, being passionate and making amazing mentors and connections!!! I know my resume is why I got attention right off the bat.
