What sort of issues could I run into with getting a job with a major in government and politics while federal jobs are being cut? Could this still impact me for my graduation year in 2028?

I am somewhat worried that after I graduate from college, I will have issues with finding a job for myself amid federal job cuts. This issue is also prevalent in my family, since my father was cut from his job in the state department.

How? Hello, I am Kate, a certified journalist with a higher education degree. I graduated with distinction. I have experience working in TV, but unfortunately, it was in Russia. There, I achieved success and worked for the main channel in the country. Due to recent global events, I left that country and moved to Europe. I am currently looking for a job or internship in TV or print journalism in the United States. I consider America the pinnacle of journalism, as history tells us. My English is not yet at the C1 level, but I am willing to improve it. Additionally, I know that RTVI is a Russian TV channel with American news based in New York. Please, give me advice on which company I should apply to for an internship or job as a TV journalist in America. What are the chances of being hired if I do not have experience in the American market, but I am very eager to build my career there?
