I'm struggling. I gave up on my job a couple of months ago and hasn't managed to find a new job yet. I needed a change desperately. Stayed in my previous job for 6 years and even tho it was OK money it wasn't challenging anymore I was bored and I'm 26 so I thought it's now or never to make a change... but I haven't made a change. Struggling to find a new job. I am very interested in one particular industry which is very competitive and obviously i don't have any experience in. I have done courses etc but no work experience. It's hard in my old job I was in sole charge and working alone. I missed having company. I missed the challenge...
Now I just feel like a massive failure and became lazy. I look in the mirror and hate myself for not being able to achieve my new goal... obviously I have been living in my savings which is fine... I could probably support myself for another 6month on it without having a job which is obviously not ideal but it does give me a secure feeling. Altough the past few weeks I started applying for job in retail etc and I am not getting any interview which is worrying. I don't have any support unfortunately I am all by myself. What should I do?

Could you do work experience, volunteer or an internship etc in that industry?

Could you tell us which industry? Someone here might be able to give direct advice

Wher I live it's difficult to get an internship in the industry (interior design) I have been looking but I either looked in the wrong places or there are no opportunities here

Have you contacted companies/freelancers to see if you can do work experience with them?

Also look into courses and maybe look on social media ar interior designers, ask for their advice or how they got into it. It just takes one or two to reply to give you an idea of what to do next.
