Maybe someone wiser than me can offer some career advice, cause I'm going nuts here. So I got my BFA in graphic design almost exactly a year ago, before that I'd been doing design work as a junior designer and/or intern and since then I've been doing contract gigs varying from okay to cartoonishly terrible. Overall though I've got about 2.5 years of agency experience, plus all the skills you'd expect from a designer. Naturally, finding work has been hard to impossible, I typically don't get past the "submitted an application" portion of the interview process and it's not for lack of trying. I guess my question is: Do I suck??? Am I too green? How do you do this.

Everything I've done worth showing is on my website, I know at the very least I'm about to pack up and move everything to wordpress to have more control over the web design.

I tend to go for positions at marketing agencies, designer positions that list 1-3 years experience. I figure places like that would probably have more print/branding jobs come in, but I'm pretty adept at web design, though I've only ever done two websites for one client (One I just did the graphics, and the other I did the graphics and code but they decided to shift gears out of nowhere and the second site was never finished). Are projects done or completed purely for my own amusement considered "School" projects?
