Update #1: Get a job!

Applying for jobs is brutal. I don't like the rejection, I feel like I could do anything, want to get paid well AND enjoy my job, plus I'm competing against a rising unemployment rate flooding the market with talent.
Challenges Overcome: I've figured out what I don't want to do, and have been selective with what I apply for. My passion/skill matrix ensures I don't apply for anything less than a 5 total score. I had an interview, they interviewed 10 people and had 680 applicants...

Update #2: Back into it after holiday

50% complete
Started looking further afield, other cities and countries (remote). Built out multiple CVs for different roles, slimmed my CV to one page.
Challenges Overcome: Have somewhat overcome imposter syndrome and fear of rejection by applying if I meet some of the criteria.
Obstacles Faced: Search far and wide, apply, apply, apply.
Next Steps: Keep going, the more options the better. I get to use interviewing as a chance to learn about the company too.
Looking Back: Key words in CV. I've done lots but not all of it is relevant.
