FTM Worried about finding a Job
I (20 ftm) just graduated college in the US, and I’m going into the graphic design industry and have been applying around but I’m very nervous about interviews and getting hired. I’m trying to apply for more remote positions as I’ve read that helps, but I can’t be picky either so I’ve applied to in person as well.
I don’t pass and can’t make too much of an effort to as I still live with my very transphobic parents, but I kinda need a job to move out. It’s a weird cycle I’m trapped in. Basically I still have a more feminine hair style and voice, and because my name isn’t legally changed yet I have to use it to apply to certain places. It’s very obvious I’m trans right now.
Could any trans people in similar industries offer some advice on how to get hired, if it’s super hard in Graphic Design (especially in-house), or anything else useful? Thanks in advance.
