Re: Graduate seeking quick career advice!
Put a little extra work into the stuff you do regardless of if it is freelance, or donated work. Make it look good so your portfolio looks good. Get a job in your industry where they will take you, it was difficult at first for me to find a job also. Don't be too picky on the first job, remember you are entry level. Do a good job so you will get a good reference. After a year or so start looking for a job that is closer to the type of work you would like to do, and pays better. At this time you will have a better portfolio, 1 year of real life experience, and a sparkling reference from a boss you worked your butt off for the last year. Keep progressing towards your ultimate career goals, always have a plan, don't just float around aimlessly.
Good luck!
