Hi! What advice would you give for new graduates seeking jobs (I have a double major in anthropology and sociology)? It seems like most positions I feel like I am qualified for require previous years of experience to be even considered for the position. Do I go below (in pay and duties) what I think fits for me or can I somehow translate my academic experience into relatable experience for a job?

Also, online seems to be the go to avenue for submitting resumes but I have read articles stating that this does not give you the best chance for that job. What should you do? Some articles suggest that you send a personal email to an HR person of the company, give a mini cover letter in the email, and attach your resume. Is this an appropriate approach? And would you apply both on the online job posting and through a person email or just do one?

One more questionnn then I'll shush:

I've also read articles discussing the "cold email" approach. You email a member of a company and show your interest in their operations and introduce yourself despite them not having posted about a job. You either try and reach out for career advice for a position or suggest they think of you if they have any upcoming vacancies.

Sorry if I rambled too much but any advice you have would be much appreciated.
