Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’ve been seeking employment since June after graduating in product design. I’ve continually been sending out my CV and portfolio to companies, enquiring about any opportunities. Most have said they’re not recruiting at present. I have had some unpaid design work experience.
Listed job vacancies all require years of experience etc etc. I don’t mind doing something completely different for the time being, but even so I don’t know who will employ me.
Because what I do is very niche, I feel I am just never going to get anywhere. I would really welcome anybody’s advice as I feel useless at the moment.

So the thing is this.. i have an small company growing up.. now im requiring some help..
i recived a CV that is very interesting for me, the guy studied the speciality for what my company is about..
the market on this subject is very tight..
so my worries are if i hire him he will learn all what took me 8 years to learn, and in a few months he will just quit and start his new company.. with all my company secrets..
any REAL experiences about that? ,
CEOS? any advise for this entrepreneur?. should i just give him the job or..
thanks!

i’ve been given an opportunity to do research with a neurosurgeon in a hospital affiliated with my school. Though i’m exited i’m nervous at the same time because he asked me to submit 3 contacts of references, my transcripts and a writing sample. I have no problem with submitting my transcripts but i have had no previous research experience, and i do not have any educational references that i can list. Unfortunately i do not yet know my professors on a level where they can write me a Reference. Also, i am not sure what is meant my a “writing sample”. does “writing sample” mean a research paper that i did, an essay on any topic or is it a CV of why i’m interested in the position (i’m really confused) I really want the position but i don’t know what to do now, could you give me some advise and clarity please. Thank you.
