Namechanged as possibly outing.
I've got nearly 25 years experience in my professional sector. Been freelancing for the past decade, and now very ready to work for a single company again - freelance gigs in my (struggling) industry are becoming as rare as hen's teeth. My DH also took a pay cut in a new role following redundancy, so we are financially very tight, and I need to find something.
For several months I've been making lots of approaches, sending off my CV, having initial conversations and so on. Recently had a good interview for a role I was very much qualified for, but it went to someone who had the same role at a competitor company.
I'm getting nowhere and feel so low about it all - I'm beginning to worry I'll NEVER properly work again! I have a lot of transferrable skills/experience so I just don't see why it's so hard to find anything.
Anyone else experiencing similar? How did you stay motivated to keep going? Thanks so much.
