- Hi Jack,I would recommend two things: one that mentioned before simply try apply remotely, location is not a big issue any more. Also I know it can be hard to start when there are no connections you could start with, that one you can balance out by developing a unique style.
- Reverse the assumption.9–5 implies office-based.No other local organisation is offering an opening into a creative career.It appears there are no doors, where you live, to get your foot into.Look for opportunities beyond the traditional workspace.Maybe it's more about portals than doors?
- Remote is definitely the way to go, whether it's freelancing or employee. The remote world has plenty of opportunities that are generally open to professionals no matter your location.
- Look into remote editing role Jack they're out there and would be that foot in the door role you're looking for.
