Yeah mate. You've got talent. It took me 12 years before I got my first job, and that was a two-month, unpaid internship. You had the right intentions at trying to get your foot in the door. Don't give up because someone said no. Keep looking for someone to say yes!

One ex member here once sent me a rather nasty, completely unprovoked email about how much of a failure I was, and how I would never succeed in the industry. Yeah, it hurt for a bit, but I turned it around. I thought "I'll show him!" 2 years later, I landed a job.

Keep going mate. You can make it!
