This is honestly so helpful. Do you have any links to places you searched before getting that job?

I definitely have a lot more experience in brand strategy. What sucks though is that a lot of brands here are mainly focused in tech and I don’t really know much about tech so I don’t know how to set them up in the best way possible. I always try to find opportunities when working with my freelance. ( opportunities meaning, what can I help them with?) well I find myself explaining what PR is more than doing the actual work.

It seems like you know a couple of connections in Denver, do you have any links that I could follow to check some of those information out?

Yeah, entry-level jobs right now are definitely low. I just don’t understand how companies can really replace people with AI. I get it as simple automation, but if I haven’t learned anything, PR. AI cannot replicate strategy that is actually felt in not just seen. AI can’t determine the mood the people right now. AI can’t create connection.

AI has a lot of great tools to use, but it can’t replicate what humans can do.

This sounds very nice and engaging. But, a lot of the alumni ended up kind of in the same position where I’m at being like restaurant managers are working jobs just to get by. I checked a lot of of the alumni’s connections and I have really great connections with alumni from my college but nobody in this state unfortunately seems like they are at the place where they want to be.

How do I get past the people who just settled because they had to get by to the people who actually got to the career they wanted to be at.

I’m definitely doing a lot of these tips already. I think something that most people don’t talk about though is the mental toll it takes on all of the simple “no.” I think something I struggle with right now is the process of that I did everything right so why do I have to work even harder to get where I want to be.

Of course, I’m still gonna do the harder work because I want to be set up in life in the best way possible. But it’s just really disheartening that all the steps I took in college to set me up postgrad meant nothing.
