I think it’s important to know when to take a step back, and I know you’ll thank yourself for it in the long run.I don’t really have much to advise you on, but your post really reminds me of what I felt like I was going through in 2022/23. I’d graduated a few years prior, and was unable to secure anything - felt like there was nothing outstanding in my profile and racked myself silly trying to figure out whether it was my grades, university, lack of experience. I took a step back too, self funded my LPC (can still see that interest piling on thank you UK) but I enjoyed it. I figured, if nobody was going to give me a chance, I’ll go and take my own - started looking at experiences that didn’t require a written application such as competitions or walking into high street firms and asking to meet with the director with a paper copy of my CV in my hand. Anything really to bulk my CV up.With a blink of the eye, suddenly my CV built up - awards, internships, leading companies/household names. A big change from how I felt about myself in 2022 and suddenly everything felt more attainable, and the quality of my applications changed - because I believed in myself more.I don’t know if you’re on the same journey, but regardless, there’s always some beauty in taking a step back and figuring out your next steps.P.S. I’ll be creating a thread on alternatives to work experience/internships to bulk up a CV soon!</blockquote>
