“Stay proactive and start using that power you have”

My ‘Plan A’ if I was in your shoes would be to use that incredible gusto you have to start building your networks and experience. You’ve identified that yourself as the core of the problem – so tackle it head on. Easier said than done I know; but perhaps not as hard as taking the leap to move to the big smoke with only two suitcases and no flat?

Find meetups that interest you where you can find like-minded people and start building community. The job market is hard at the moment in London, but there are still opportunities out there if you look hard, stay proactive and start using that power you have.
