I have experience but its pretty varied and not highly specialised. My portfolio includes not only my best projects from college but also some freelance work. However when it comes to my freelance experience, most of the proejcts I've done (even the most complex ones) are those that could be easily completed by following a simple tutorial, in short the standard of my freelance work could be considered somewhat mediocre by industry standards. [quote] Have they declined you, or did you not apply because it was something you 'couldn't do'? [/quote] Now that you mentioned it my careers being hacked at by a double edged sword. Currently when I look at job requirements I understand that theres a lot to learn, and jobs where the requirements even remotely match my own skills, I feel a sense of 'fear' that holds me back - a fear of not being able to perform upto any organisations expected standards and sometimes I don't apply, and in the cases I have overcome this hesitation and applied with full throttle, I haven't recieved any response. So infact I'm like being held back by a feeling that I'm not qualified enough. The toll is so bad that nowadays when I try to learn or brush up on my skills I loose interest kinda backing out. I've thought of grabbing whatever job I can find, but frankly spending a reasonable time frame doing a job I don't even like - I mean I don't see how that experience will help land me a job I really like later on in my career. Like how is working as a junior technical assistant in a mobile telecom company gonna help me later on in my career to apply for a job in Multimedia Development. I am confused though at the moment cos I'm caught between the things I can do and the things I wanna do but lack the necessary training or skills to do em. Like if I had to make a choice between Multimedia Development & Cartoon Animation both of which I have very little experience(like micro little) i.e. two fields which I really like and stuff like web development & database programming both of which I am pretty ok but simply loathe, what do I do. I mean even if I were to chose the work I like, I'm confused between two totally different fields namely multimedia development & Cartoon Animation, like in the race to be at evens with both fields I end up learning very little of both. I have a pretty good CV but honestly its a blind arrow, instead of deciding what to do I've kinda left it up to fate to put me into a suitable field and in the process - TADA remain unemployed. What should I do, I mean should I sacrifice what I aspire to do, and take up a job I don't dig just to keep the bills running or should I do something else... PS. thanx (I mean thanks) for pointing out my typos Loading...
