Hi everyone, I’m a 2025 comms grad on my search for full time, post grad employment. I created a version of my resume that redacts identifying information but gives an idea as to what my experience has been thus far.

For those of you who are farther into your career, what would you suggest I could do that would beef up the resume in the meantime as I search for full time work?

And what types of jobs do you think this resume would look good for?

(The formatting is wonky on this version, my actual resume is not 2 pages)

Hi all!

For some context, I graduated with my bachelors in comm, concentration in PR and minor in media studies in 2025.

I’ve worked

- 2 years as a student in university media dept

- 1 public radio internship

- 1 marketing admin internship

- 1 freelance gig for a b2b marketing agency

The search for a full time comms role has been awful. So while I’ve been searching, I work 3 part time gigs that are retail, food service and adjacent.

I worry about there being a gap in my communications professional resume (my last relevant experience ended in December) while I job search.

In the meantime, I’ve also been gigging locally as a standup comedian. Obviously with standup, I write my own material, book my own gigs, promote my performances, etc. Quite frankly, it’s the only way I’m using the comms degree currently.

Should I include it on the resume? If so, how? People I know personally and professionally irl are giving mixed opinions.
