I graduated last year and I’ve been working for this company since graduation, but now that it’s been a year there’s several aspects of this company that consistently remind me that I need to get out of here for my own sanity :( so I’ve been consistently job hunting for about a few weeks now and I found out my university is having a career fair in September, so I plan on attending as an alumni, but they require us to submit our resumes to RSVP which will go into a pool that every company attending will see, including the one i currently work for. Is it smart to go ahead and submit it anyway? I don’t want to miss out on any career opportunities but I also don’t want them to know im job hunting

Currently working as a front end developer/consultant and I want to pivot into a more HCI/UX focused role, but I did graduate August 2025 so my search is for entry level roles. I’ve looked on Linkedin, a couple of other job search sites and even straight searched on Google but I have a feeling I’m not looking in the right places because the results seem pretty scarce loll. Is this just the state of the job market or am I genuinely looking in the wrong places?
