I have no confidence
WorkWise's Career Consultant Karen Gray
Hi Karen
I am 24, finished masters in gaming technology last year and have a primary degree in IT.
I have never worked and am finding it hard to demonstrate any self confidence in interviews. The longer I am unemployed the harder I find it to motivate myself.
Should I do more courses? What can I do?

Hi
The opportunities in gaming are quite buoyant, right now, but firstly you will have to build up your work confidence to progress into them with a good interview.
You should maybe investigate the Work Placement Programme that FAS are running – you can find it at www.fas.ie, and you’ll see the range of positions they offer.
You can work for 9 mths in a company, work through a development programme and quite often the organization will take you on at the end, provided you make a positive impact whilst you’re there. You can collect your JS benefit over the 9 mths too.
Good luck
Karen
