finding an entry level job
 Login/Join 
Freshman

i graduated from a 4 year college with a degree in communication and media production over a year ago and i still cant find an entry level video job... Before i give up and start work down a different path, i want to make sure ive been going about searching the right way.

since i graduated i have done some freelance video, weddings/bands/church stuff, i interned at a production company for a short time and still cant find anything. I have emailed every production company and advertising agency within 50 miles of me to see if they had open positions, FREE work i could do or projects i could assist on for experience. No luck. I am willing to work any entry level position even if its just office work at a production company. I am willing to move anywhere in the US to work a video job and I apply to multiple jobs daily, but it seams impossible to get a job if you're still entry level.

I am applying to jobs daily from craigslist, mandy and indeed.com. Are there other sites i should be checking? Is it possible to get an entry level job in another state before moving there, or am i pretty much stuck applying to where i currently live? Are there any large companies that hire lots of entry level positions or have trainee programs? I just want enough money to support myself and i am ready to pack my bags and move to tomorrow for any job that will give me experience. Anyone know what im doing wrong or have advice?
