Just finished my degree (whew!) and started the daunting job hunt. Any fellow recent grads struggling out here? Feel like it's a bit of a nightmare finding something in my field (marketing). Anyone got any tips or know places that are hiring? Cheers!

Just throwing this out there, but have you considered entrepreneurship? It's a great way to create your own opportunity. Plus, there's a decent startup scene in Sheffield. Could be worth exploring if you're not finding the right fit in existing companies.

Welcome to the 'I've got a degree, now what?' club. How's your LinkedIn game? Make sure your profile's up to scratch and start connecting with anyone and everyone. Sheffield's not the biggest pond, but the right gig's out there. Also, talk to the career advisors at the uni, sometimes they know of opportunities not advertised elsewhere.

In marketing myself, 5 years in. Look for networking events via the Sheffield Digital or the Chamber of Commerce. Getting your name and face out can really make a difference. Also, consider doing some free/low-cost freelance work to build a more solid portfolio - it helps!

Ayy, congrats on graduating! Marketing's tough in Sheff right now, not gonna lie. It's the same in most places though, 'specially for new grads. Have you tried looking at opportunities with smaller companies, or even startups? They sometimes don't post on big job sites, so might be worth doing some LinkedIn outreach.
