   Key words are in the job ad--they will be the:

   Knowledge base they think is necessary for the position, specific in some instances to that sort of job--sorry, not my background and don't want to just add words. what did you learn, gain understanding of, do, etc. that is knowledge based for that job?

   Skills--again, specific to that type of job, we learn skills, specific and some genertic ones all the time. But what skills are important in that sort of jo?

   Abilities--these are for want of a better way to describe almost personality qualities that get us safely through the day; adaptable, so use Adapted, as that--"ed" form is saying been there done that, Accommodated, Supported, Gained..., the list goes ever on and on.

   Go to the job ad(s), take out Purple highlighters, anything that is describing the job--title/workplace/conditions of, etc. these are things you can't change--location, size of employer, the job title, years of experience--you can still try, but if it's 10 years of experience, probably not gonna happen.

   Take a red highlighter and anything you are completely unable to do, if you have to life 50lbs, and can't, then red highlight it, anything you can't do, gets red.

   Take a yellow highlighter, if you have minimal experience, or know how to do something, but not completely comfortable with it--need more training, etc.

   Take a green highlighter, any thing you can do, have done, believe you are reasonably good at doing, green highlight.

   You have your list of words. Tailor you resume to highlight the green words.

   Again use "ed" past tense verbs.

   Quantify in numbers when possible; Produced X# per week, use numerals, they just stand out better on a resume.

   Does your alma mater have a career office and as an alumni are you still entitled to use it?

   Please understand that remote jobs are fewer and far between as more and more employers are moving to back in office like before COVID shut the country down. I would also suggest being new to the field that you look for in person jobs to gain the knowledge and all the other things that go along with being around people in person.

   As a higher ed professional who works in a career center, it’s best to find jobs in person as you get more experience learning that way. Then as you gain some years of experience maybe a remote option will be out there. Go to your Alma mater’s career center and attend job fairs and use their recruiting system. As you are considered early talent, many employers will be interested. Connect with your Alma mater’s alumni group as well and find a mentor of those who graduated before you with the same major/degree and see where they work. But focus on seeking work and being open to jobs of interest regardless of remote options. Be open to relocating. You are also competing with others who have experience. Connect yourself to those who have experience to help find a job.

   Get help from your college's career center and get your favorite professors to help you as well. Even so, you may need to start jobs in person because it's easier to "show you the ropes" and help you develop basic competencies in person. Is there a reason why you have to work remotely? If not, consider starting in person or at least in a hybrid role.

   Congratulations on completing your bachelors and completing your digital marketing internship!

   Finding remote gigs are a bit of a challenge but there's still opportunities out there. There's a few dedicated remote job boards out there and FairyGodboss has a job board with a remote filter.

   Since you're a recent grad, I'd also consider paid fellowships. Most tech companies are posting their early career/intern hiring opportunities now--- I've seen a few things appear on my newsfeed from LinkedIn. Are you on LinkedIn? I'd say, networking is going to be key for you. Look at how you can volunteer at a conference to get your name and some learning exposure. Meet ups, workshops, etc. -- basically anything that allows you connect with more people so you can build a credible network.

   Agree with staying connected to your school's career center and alumni community. Also, attend any alumni mixers virtually or in person that you can.

   The goal right now is to put yourself out there on all fronts and remain open to the process. I'd also say, consider hybrid work opportunities if you can. Sometimes, just having that flexibility to be at home and only partially in-office is better than nothing at all.

   Good luck to you and welcome to working world!

   There are some platforms that allow you to launch independently and work with local businesses that need the help. That is a good freelance start to keep money coming in and allow you to use that portfolio to show.
