Maybe a role where you can make use of your design skills as well would be a good fit as well?

How many applications did you send out so far?

I would suggest sending out way more. It's a numbers game. Starting out fresh for myself took 500+ applications before landing a job.

What was your background? Did you transition from another career? Are you working now as a UX designer?
