Hello, So I'm an international French student. I recently graduated from a college in Washington, DC in Theater Arts and TV Production (minor). I have not had a lot of working experience since I was not able to work in the US. Now, I'm doing my OPT (I can work in the US for 1 year..legally). I've been submitting my resumé for a month now, and I only got a few answers (2..3). I gave up looking for a position, and I'm trying to get into an internship, but NADA!! Please help me, what's wrong with my resumé??? Thanks A LOT!! PS: if this is to be mean and not helpful, refrain from answering!!!!I'll appreciate your silence!

I don't think your career aspirations have a lot of job postings. I think you would have a lot more success networking, physically knocking on doors, and creating your contacts
