I’ve been seeking employment since June after graduating in product design. I’ve continually been sending out my CV and portfolio to companies, enquiring about any opportunities. Most have said they’re not recruiting at present. I have had some unpaid design work experience.
Listed job vacancies all require years of experience etc etc. I don’t mind doing something completely different for the time being, but even so I don’t know who will employ me.
Because what I do is very niche, I feel I am just never going to get anywhere. I would really welcome anybody’s advice as I feel useless at the moment.

My Job Hunting Feels Like It Will Go On For Ever?
Posted on October 16, 2012.
don’t give up
keep on looking
Don’t lose faith , you’ll find a job eventually
there are many other people stuck in the same situation you are
But just don’t give up
Okay, I searched Google for product design, I think this is what user experience/ user interface design is, right?
Anyways, have you searched in various job websites like http://www.linkedin.com and http://www.indeed.com. I agree the jobs in this field are few, so try to apply for internship somewhere. Also, you can apply for graphic designer or visual designer if you know HTML, CSS, photoshop. You can try to search for freelance jobs in websites like http://www.elance.com. Keep yourself open to moving to other countries, if you have to. It isn’t necessary that you have to work in U.S only, you can get international experience. Search for jobs in other countries, you will definitely get a job in some part of the world. Good luck 🙂
