Key_Description_9017's journey

I'm graduating in December and have been actively working on my resume and portfolio to catch the attention of recruiters. I'm relocating to Louisiana from Mississippi after graduation and have started applying for local jobs, but I'm finding the job postings are a bit sparse. I've faced some rejections and a lot of silence from applications, which has been discouraging. To broaden my search, I'm also applying for remote positions, but I'm trying to focus on roles where I feel I have a strong chance of being a good fit. I'm specifically targeting HR roles like HR Coordinator, People and Culture Coordinator, People Operations Coordinator, HR Assistant, HR Associate, and People Coordinator. I have a resume tailored for HR jobs and another for recruiting positions. Currently, I'm looking for advice on how to strengthen my resume. I don't have any certifications at the moment due to financial constraints, but I'm working on a portfolio that includes HR and recruiting projects based on a fictional company with fictional data to showcase my skills. I'm not part of the local SHRM chapter yet since I'm on a tight budget and haven't moved to the area. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
