After first job, over 1 year. But that time still freshie.

It happens, just continue and don't give up. It sucks when there are empty promises after empty promises but eventually you'll come across one that will see your capabilities. One time, my IV was canceled 1 hour before the scheduled time. CCB HR fella.

At times, it could be from your resume/ CV as well. Keep it 2 pages max, do away with those jargons.

Since you mentioned your role involves lots of brainstorming, you sure they're not taking you for a ride? Many times, employers love doing that under the guise of such so they don't have to pay a single cent for those free labor.
