    Prior to Covid, I worked part time. During college, I worked on personal projects. It’s hard to have industry experience if you haven’t yet entered the industry.

      That’s tough, I was lucky to get a foot in the door through some different organizations I participate in personally. It pays about the same as flipping burgers but from those I’ve seen succeed, experience is equally as important as the education. I was ready to manipulate and lie to get experience. Keep trying and don’t be afraid to overstate your accomplishments and projects. Have you looked for any volunteer projects?
