Laid off since April and looking for advice & opportunities

I was laid off in April and have been applying consistently since, but unfortunately haven’t found my next opportunity yet.

My background is in project management, communications, digital strategy, client services, and operations. I have a bachelor’s in Communications and Political Science and am open to PM, communications, operations, higher education, and related roles.

If anyone knows of companies actively hiring, roles that might fit my background, or simply has advice for navigating this market, I would genuinely appreciate it!

Laid off since April and looking for advice & opportunities

I was laid off in April and have been applying consistently since, but unfortunately haven’t found my next opportunity yet.

My background is in project management, communications, digital strategy, client services, and operations. I have a bachelor’s in Communications and Political Science and am open to PM, communications, operations, customer success, higher education, and related roles.

If anyone knows of companies actively hiring, roles that might fit my background, or simply has advice for navigating this market, I would genuinely appreciate it.

I normally wouldn’t make a post like this, but I’m at the point where I think I need to ask for help.

I was laid off in April, and I’ve been applying for jobs pretty much every day since. I’ve rewritten my resume, tailored cover letters, reached out to recruiters, applied directly. Unfortunately, I still haven’t been able to land something.

I am a 28 year old F. My background is primarily in project management, communications, digital strategy, client services, and digital organizing.

I have a bachelor's degree in Communications and Political Science, and I'm particularly interested in project/program management, communications, operations, higher education, or roles where those skills overlap. I'm also very open to industries I haven't worked in before.

Being unemployed this long has been hard on me. I've been doing side hustles and whatever work I can to keep myself afloat, but I've reached a point where that isn't sustainable anymore. The constant cycle of applying, getting rejected, or simply never hearing anything back has also taken a toll on my mental health. I know the job market is difficult for a lot of people right now, but some days it is hard not to wonder what I'm doing wrong.

I would just really appreciate advice, referrals, introductions, companies that are actually hiring, or openings you think might fit my background. 

I work hard, I learn quickly, and I genuinely want the opportunity to get back to work and prove myself somewhere. I just need someone to give me that chance.

Thank you in advance!!
