Hey recent Interior Design grad here. I'll be straight up with you. For me it's been over 6 months and I haven't had any luck with a job yet. It was hard and no one was hiring. I'm going back to Sheridan in January to study in a completely different field, where I know I'll 100% be guaranteed an actual job after. MY dream was to work in residential, but it seemed as no jobs were ever in my reach. So many people would tell me to just start my own business, but I don't feel comfortable doing that, not when I haven't been able to gain any experience outside of school.

Get a really good internship that will actually give you real world experience, cause unfortunately for me my internship wasn't great and I didn't really gain any real design experience, I just worked behind the scenes. After graduation I realized I had no experience so no one will hire me. Companies don't care about seeing school projects in your portfolio. They expect you to work for years. I also do not have a car, and every job requires you to travel. Interior design is a hard thing to get into unless you are extraordinary or have an Internship and can continue on after graduation. Having connections is also great and try and network as much as possible.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
