MOD EDIT:
Hey guys, I’m new to this world. My girlfriend is anxious because she’s been doing graphic design for three years, and it’s overwhelming her and giving her anxiety since she put her studies on hold. I want to help her. She tells me she doesn’t know where to start. It’s been six months since she put her studies on hold, and I want to help her.
She tells me she doesn’t know how to search, that she has no idea where to start, and wants to know if there’s a kind and gentle person who can help her.
Thank you so much in advance.
Good luck and blessings to all of you.
Happy journey.
Firstly, I am afraid my understanding of Spanish is via Google. But from what I can gather your girlfriend has stopped her studies and wants to know the best way to get a job in design.
My thoughts; finish the degree and get that into the cv (resumé). Any decent university should also be able to help with pathways into employment.
Ultimately it comes down to having a very good portfolio and targeting the people she wants to work for, but having a degree from a good university will get her through the door in the first place. Without it, she is just another wannabe hopeful. Having a degree shows, firstly, a level of ability and, secondly, the staying power to complete it.
For me, someone who bailed part way through, without very good reason, would definitely end up on the ‘no’ pile.
If she is studying Graphic Design and she doesn’t know where to begin, then I think that the best guides for her are her teachers. If she trust any teacher then she may get a guide from them, because sometimes there are many ways and you don’t know how to go there. Also there are YouTube videos (in Spanish and English) of people who can guide you to follow your path.
Did her anxiety about school cause her to put her studies aside? Was she studying graphic design? If so, anxiety is a common reaction to the pressures of school. At least it was with me. There were several times I wanted to walk away from it, but I couldn’t because I had invested too much into it.
Google translations aren’t perfect, so what do you mean when the translation says she doesn’t know where to start or where to search? What does she want to start or search for?
She sounds overwhelmed and probably a bit depressed. Has she spoken to a doctor or a therapist about her anxiety? If not, she should. It helped me.
Whatever the case, support her and let her know that you support her and will help with whatever she decides and that there’s no hurry to make big decisions. Things really do tend to work themselves out. If you can help relieve some of the pressure she’s feeling from her expectations and insecurities, doing so might provide enough security to give her a calmer view of the situation. This might help her be in a better position to make rational decisions instead of decisions based on overwhelming feelings of anxiety.
