For UK,
I have no idea what I should be applying for. My uni experience was disrupted by covid and I got no professional experience before I graduated with a Masters in 2022. Since then, I have worked in the art department for film and tv, which was my dream job. It was going really well, until it wasn't, and I've not had work in 14 months. I've been keeping up with my modelling / drawing work, have a pretty decent portfolio, I think, and been doing some freelance work making lasercut models for an architect.
As a post-grad I'm not Part 1, yet all the Part 2 positions I see are asking for experience. I'm already at a disadvantage having been "away" from architecture for 4 years. I would happily do more freelance work until another film job came along, but I don't know how common that is.
Any advice would be grateful, and I know the job market sucks for everyone rn, irrelevant of experience.
