What to do next?
I (28F) live in Seattle, and I’ll be graduating from a remote UCLA interior design program in September. Im in the process of finding a job in the industry, and needless to say it’s been a tough job market to break into.
The program that I’m attending is entirely remote, and I feel like I’ve really missed out on the networking side of going to school. Like everyone always says “it’s not what you know but who you know”.
I decided a good starting point would be joining IIDA, but now that I’ve joined I don’t even know where to start. I reached out about volunteering a couple of weeks ago but haven’t heard from anyone.
What do you recommend for finding a good community of designers? How can I get more involved and meet people in the industry? What other steps would you take to help break into the industry as a student?
