graduated last year and moved to atlanta for a marketing job. heres the tea: the job market looks scary but theres actually SO much opportunity. my advice??

• indeed and linkedin are fine but also look at specific company websites
• atlanta has TONS of industry-specific networking groups (like for tech, for creative, for nonprofit). find yours and just show up
• be prepared for the commute discourse lol everyone in atlanta has Opinions about traffic

also if youre research-focused, look into the cdc or emory?? both huge in atlanta and always need researchers. good luck!!
