Opportunities/Advice for Junior Illustrators?
I'm really lost on how to get any opportunities as an illustrator with very little experience. It seems I can't find a place where they'd take a junior illustrator without job experience that's remote, cause in my country there are like no opportunities at all for illustrator. Before I got my degree my professor's would often say how it's a bit hard but there were jobs out there for us. These days I wonder why did I have to choose a career that has so little employability in my country. I seem to always be making poor choices for my professional future. Any advice would be appreciated or if you know a place that's hiring illustrators with no experience, please let me know. I'm also thinking about trying to apply for graphic design internships since it's kind of similar, but obviously not the same...

How to decide the best after highschool plan (marketing career)?
Hii! So, I've been wanting to pursue a career in marketing (more specifically international marketing as I would love to travel in my career). I'm currently a junior in high school, and I'm taking a few AP classes to help me when I go to college, but that's my problem. I've always wanted to go to college but now I'm having second thoughts. I currently have a 3.2 GPA, which I've been told isn't good enough to go out of state. While I have all my math credits, I can't get my Algebra 2 credits (as I didn't pass my sophomore year, and I didn't get the credits in the makeup class), and I'm worried that this is bad for college. I'm not sure if I should potentially pursue something different, but I am very open to a bit of advice. Thank you!!

What steps should I take after leaving my first post-grad job in Public Relations a year in and with a year gap in my resume following that position ?
Hello, I recently decided I'm ready to jump back into the job market after a year long career gap. I've been working in the restaurant industry to keep myself financially stable and have taken the time to reflect and grow after my first "real" job right after graduating from college. I had a positive experience at that job, but didn't align enough with the values of the company to stay there long term. I believed that I got all that I could from the role and left as the burn out was getting detrimental to my well-being. I'm a first-generation graduate so getting my foot in the door was a huge task, but I know the strength I have to keep pushing will help me on my journey. I have internship experience and one year of working at a prominent Tech PR agency, my skills are transferable, and I have the confidence to position myself for the right roles if given an interview. I'm looking for any advice on the best steps to take when I have a gap in my resume but not being as experienced as most people with a gap. Also, should I include my restaurant job in my updated resume? Will that take away from my credibility? Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

How to get a 100% remote cybersecurity job as a fresh college graduate? How to develop those skills and I have 0 years of experience
Hi everyone, I’m Vidhi, and I’m about to graduate from OSU Ecampus with a degree in Computer Science. As we all know, the job market is tough right now, especially for fresh graduates without strong industry experience. I’m very interested in securing a 100% remote cybersecurity role since there are no tech companies near me, and I prefer not to relocate. I understand that referrals and LinkedIn networking are key, but I also want to build the right skills and earn certifications that will make a strong impression on recruiters and increase my chances of getting hired. Any advice on the best skills to focus on or the most valuable cybersecurity certifications for entry-level roles? Which is better hackthebox or tryhackme. Are they even worth it? Do recruiters care?
