Dear Rick: While that may seem like an effective strategy -- casting a larger net to catch more fish -- it is quite the opposite. Instead, change the bait, fish for what you really want, and increase your catch rate. I understand you are not "into" your career, yet, so you don't have an area of expertise to sell; but I imagine, based on your degree program and internship, you already have begun carving a niche for yourself. Review job postings targeted with what you really want to do and ensure your resume is speaking that "language." Keyword optimization is critical to getting through applicant tracking systems (and human screeners!); hence, you have to ensure your resume is speaking about the right aspects of your early experience, education, and training.
I would caution you that taking anything as your first career position can make a dramatic impact on the trajectory of your journey and your compensation levels. This first step is so important -- you are laying the foundation for which you will continue to build your career -- so make sure you choose really strong bricks! Refocus, target and push your resume out there through a diverse and robust distribution strategy, and I can't imagine you won't see traction soon. Good luck!
Is summer a good time to be job searching?
Just because everyone else that recently graduated college with you has a job, doesn't mean you're out of luck. You just have to tweak your job searching process.
Dear Anonymous: Given the analytical nature of your day-to-day work, compared to the creative drive you possess, I can see the struggle you must be facing. Have you thought about building your graphic design portfolio through freelance work or volunteer engagements? That's a great way to build a portfolio and update your skills. I work with many clients who want to do something "different" in their career and "different" doesn't always have to be the complete opposite of what you are currently doing. Perhaps just changing companies or industries -- yet still engaging in similar analytical work and freelancing on the side -- would fulfill both your need to earn a paycheck and your desire to be more artistically engaged.
It is challenging when we have to make decisions that sometimes need to prioritize financials over passions, which I completely understand. Perhaps finding a happy medium -- a slightly more engaging environment to work in 9-5 but then also freelancing to use your creative juices -- would be a good option.
If you do make the decision to do a career-180, you will want to evaluate what type of position in which you feel you would want to transition, and review those opportunities to gain a sense of how qualified you are for those roles, given your lack of recent experience in the design arena. It may make the most sense to segue into an organization that has opportunities for you to diversify your contributions beyond what you are doing now, hopefully with a path to getting into the more creative arena you seek.
Have you considered returning to school to secure a design degree? Have you started networking with creative associations (American Marketing Association, for instance) and attending their monthly meetings? Have you thought about going to a creative staffing firm to try and secure a part-time or contract design role? All of these ideas are great ways to start going in the direction in which you ultimately want to land. This is such an exciting opportunity, and I wish you tremendous success in your transition!
Don't cut yourself short, make sure your qualifications summary truly summarizes all that makes you particularly perfect for your new employer.

15-year-old Rasheda lost one arm, and critically injured the other, in a work-place accident at the Abul Khair Steel Mills in Chittagong.
Since the Rana Plaza disaster, which killed 1,132 garment workers, international attention has focused on workers’ safety in Bangladesh. From ship breaking to cigarette making, Bangladeshi workers frequently find themselves labouring in hazardous conditions.
16-year-old Marium, who survived the Rana Plaza complex disaster, had her arm amputated in order to rescue her from the rubble.
At least five different Bangladeshi agencies have dispatched teams to start inspecting the country’s thousands of garment factories, but there has been little coordination between them. More than four million people, mostly women, work in Bangladesh's clothing sector, which is the country’s largest employment generator, with annual exports worth $21 billion.
Ainul Huq, 55, (right) and Bulbul Hossain, 25, worked for years in a stone-crushing factory. Both suffer from silicosis, an incurable lung disease caused by inhalation of silica dust.
The stone crushing industry in the Burimari area of Lalmonirhat, produces lime powder for industrial purposes. According to a report by the Bangladesh Institute of Labour Studies, those working in the industry run the risk of contracting silicosis. A researcher from the organisation said that at least 18 workers in the Burimari area died from the disease over the last four years.

US-based NGO, Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, says that over 45,000 people in Bangladesh are employed in the industry, including many women and children. A 2011 paper published in the journal Tobacco Control, notes that working conditions are often unhealthy, and can involve poor ventilation and exposure to tobacco dust, which can cause a range of health problems including respiratory and skin diseases.
Labourers disembark from a boat after working on part of a wrecked ship at a breaking yard in Chittagong.
The Bangladesh Institute of Labour Studies reports that around 30,000 workers are employed in the ship-breaking industry in Chittagong, a highly polluted coastal belt of around 20 km (12.4 miles). Environmental organisations have said that the number of accidents and casualties at the yard is believed to be the highest in the region. Bangladesh is dependent on ship-breaking for its domestic steel requirements.

A relative tends to 25-year-old Rojina at the CRP. Rescue workers, who pulled Rojina from the rubble of the collapsed Rana Plaza building, had to amputate part of her arm.

Sadiq Khan is holding a massive screening of The Salesman at Trafalgar Square on the night of the Oscars.
The Salesman is the Iranian film which, thanks to Donald Trump’s highly controversial ‘Muslim ban’, quickly became the centre of a political firestorm.
Under the ban Asghar Farhadi, the film’s award-winning director, would have been turned away at the border.
Then, as people started to speculate that an exception may be made for him, Farhadi announced that he would boycott the ceremony anyway.
And the film’s lead actress, Taraneh Alidoosti, had also announced that she’d boycott the ceremony in protest against the US President’s extreme immigration policies.
Because of this, the film ended up becoming a symbol of the absurdity and unfairness of the ban, which indiscriminately targeted people from seven Muslim-majority countries – Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya.
So no doubt the screening in such a high-profile location is a pointed message for President Trump – as are Khan’s repeated references to ‘openness and diversity’ in his announcement.
Besides, the Mayor of London has made his feelings about Trump very clear in the past.
Posting about the showing on Facebook, Khan said: ‘On 26 February – the night of the Oscars – we’re turning Trafalgar Square into London’s biggest cinema for the free UK premiere of The Salesman – the Oscar-nominated film by Iranian director Asghar Farhadi.
‘This event is completely free and open to all.
‘I want to welcome people from across the capital and beyond to share in this celebration of London as an international hub of creativity, and as a global beacon of openness and diversity.
If you want to go to the screening it’s from 3pm until 7pm on Sunday, February 26, at Trafalgar Square in London.
It’s completely free and there’s no registration required – but we recommend turning up early, as it looks like there’ll be thousands of people there.
‘Down with slow internet’: A new Egyptian revolution?
An Egyptian youth group has launched an “internet revolution” to protest what they consider a slow internet service that is not worth the money being charged.
“Down, down with slow routers,” campaigners have said on social media.
On a Facebook page called “Internet Revolution Egypt,” campaigners are demanding a respectable internet service, fair prices, professional technical support, and equality with other parts of the world.
Ahmad Ramadan, one of the Facebook page administrators, told Al Arabiya News that Egyptians no longer tolerate the “slow” and “insufficient” internet service they are receiving.
“We’re receiving a service that isn’t worth the money we’re paying,” he said, adding that Egypt is far behind other Arab countries.
“We have admins in cities such as Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said and Suez,” said Ramadan, who manages the Alexandria page.
Many governorates have their own campaign pages to follow up on internet problems, he added.
Members are encouraged to complain to internet providers in Egypt, such as Vodafone, Mobinil, TE Data, Etisalat Egypt and Link DSL Egypt.
“We’re awaiting approval from the Ministry of Interior to organize demonstrations outside the headquarters of these companies,” Ramadan said, adding that a petition will be presented to internet providers.
If demands are not met, some members have called for bills to not be paid.
Al Arabiya News contacted Mobinil and Etisalat, but without response.
However, mobile internet access is growing, he added.
“All three mobile operators in Egypt have been offering 3G services for some time, combined with the fact that mobile data devices such as smartphones and tablet computers are becoming increasingly affordable,” Reed said.
It is said the Eagle is used as a national emblem because at one of the first battles of the Revolution the noise from the struggle awoke the sleeping Eagles high atop the tallest of trees. They flew from their nests, circling overhead and venting raucous cries. �They are shrieking for freedom!� said the patriots.

Bare-chested, with his goatee dyed blue and a blue margarita clutched in his hand and staining his tongue, Fernando Vera had goosebumps dotting his arms as he described his love for the Dodgers during Game 3 of the World Series.
The goatee, he wears blue 365 days a year, making his body a testament to his Dodgers loyalty. He’s been doing it for years. He used to use spray-on dye, but since it made the bathroom too messy, he went all in and went for permanent blue.

Brian Anh was experiencing the whole gamut of human emotions Friday night at Game 3 of the World Series, where his Dodgers were starting as underdogs in the best-of-seven-game series.
“Amazed. Anxious. Nervous. It’s do or die,” said Anh, 36, who lives in Altadena.
The Boston Red Sox won the first two games, but Anh, like so many legions of Dodgers fans, had a stubborn optimism about his team’s chances and a giddiness about being in the stadium for the big show.
