I didn’t get a job today that I really thought I would get - I was told I was a very close second and it came down to something I guess minor. I don’t know how I will ever get jobs anywhere if I can’t get a job in that museum, where I have worked before and have a good relationship with the staff, nor if I can’t seem to get a job to get experience to be more competitive with other applicants who have more experience.
I am constantly freaking out about 1. why I thought I could even ever get a job in a museum 2. why I spent 60k on my education 3. the fact that the next 5 years minimum are going to be me struggling to get a full time job.
I finished uni 6 months ago so I realise I am a very recent graduate and I need to give it time, but it’s so hard not to be depressed at my career prospects. There has to be another way around and I know I will find it eventually but I just feel so sad and full of regrets now. I am travelling for work (like I know I am SO LUCKY to be doing this contract rn so I should count myself lucky but anyway) and I just really want a hug but I am alone :-(
