DS graduated summer last year and wants to work in publishing.
He has been working for the last year as an unpaid intern for a small one man publisher, so has been getting a lot of useful experience. He has been applying for jobs regularly all this time (don't know how many, but around a hundred) but he is just not getting any interviews at all. He had one, with an academic publisher and they really liked him but thought the job was a bit below his level of experience and that he would be bored.
We had a look at his cv and it looks pretty good, but what chance does he have if no one will even interview him?
Just wondered if there are just many fewer jobs in publishing since my day, I worked for several publishers in the 80s and 90s) or if anyone could throw any light on how he could boost his chances.
