Tried cold LinkedIn messages and emails to lawyers/firms but no responses at all. Lately into GDPR, got Securiti AI privacy ops cert, planning to build sample DPIA/PIA/ROPAs. Im eyeing privacy or law firm/ in house roles but completely clueless if I would even be considered given how brutal job market was when I graduated.
How do I network properly? Which firms/roles to target? Quit blind or line up first? Shall I hop into litigation? Would it ever provide financial stability? How do i ressurect my career? Any suggestions appreciated guys
