I am ready to start from zero again, just need some guidance (former graphic design intern, struggling to find direction)
Hello everyone,
I am sharing this here because I do not know where else to put these thoughts. After my graphic design internship got over, I have not been able to find a proper job, and honestly it has been a difficult period for me. There were many nights I kept wondering if I made the wrong choice by getting into design in the first place. But I have decided that instead of sitting and worrying, I will start from zero and learn whatever skill is needed, even if it means putting in extra hours daily.
I am not looking for shortcuts. I am ready to work hard and learn properly, step by step, even if it takes a few weeks of focused effort. I just need someone to guide me in the right direction, because right now I am a bit lost and do not know which path will actually lead to a job.
If anyone here has been in a similar situation, or knows which skills are realistic to learn quickly and still get entry-level opportunities, please guide me. I would be grateful for any advice, any roadmap, any personal experience you can share, even if it is difficult to hear.
