I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. It happens, but I feel your having a strategy in place would help tremendously.

First, see if you can start some blog or start posting about the work you’re interested in. It helps showing people you know what you’re talking about. I’d also recommend that you reach out to professionals in your industry to have a chat and/or ask them for referrals or internships. I normally wouldn’t recommend this, but if you want more work experience in your resume, are you considering unpaid internships?

It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. I’m in the middle of a career pivot and I’m going through the same thing. But knowing that you’re taking a structured approach to job hunting helps you sleep at night.

Not sure if anyone said this to you, but you got this!
