Reply To: I’ve been struggling to secure my desired role for several months now. Should I consider accepting a less appealing position to gain work experience? On average, how long does it take to find a new job? Can you share your personal experience with job searching? 

Hi Liuba, Completely agree with the above comments. It can sometimes be a good option to take a position that you consider less appealing as a way to gain some experience in the first instance. I would also recommend networking as much as possible - I actually found one of my previous roles through a LinkedIn connection in the industry that I wanted to be working in. Try not to get too hung up on the struggle to secure that specific role, and instead think about other ways of building your professional profile and making connections in the industry you want to work in, either through different roles or through networking.
