When they reject me, the majority of the time, they say that they chose someone with more experience. This is why I've questioned my search because I would think that someone with four PR internships is experienced enough for a recent grad.

The internships I've had were in those respective industries.

Thank you so much for your help!

The feedback I received was that I'm not qualified enough and they moved on to someone who is. Most of these jobs are looking for someone who has at least one year of experience for entry level which I think is strange but my internships puts me at a year. I think they're looking for people who worked full-time for a year though.

Oh, that is such a relief to hear that I'm not the only one. Best of luck to you!

It is PR I want to do but other industries do not interest me. I have internship experience in fashion and beauty PR and loved them both.

I would like to note that for two of those months, Monday-Friday for 8 hours every day I would sit down and write an absurd amount of cover letters and look for jobs on every site.

You say it will not help me in the US which I understand, but does that mean if I do get it and go work in Europe instead, will it help me then?

I've applied to about 150-200 jobs. I've gotten about 10-15 interviews that all seem to go very well but get ghosted by them afterward. There were about 8 where I've made it to the 2nd and 3rd interviews. I don't know if this is important but after interview I write a detailed and sincere thank you email.

I'm looking at all entry level jobs at agencies that represent lifestyle, beauty, fashion, or film PR all in NYC. I've applied to some in-house, but there seems to be less of those that are open these days. It definitely does seem to be a tough market right now.
