I am actually looking
And am about to apply to 3 or 4 things. The problem is most say they want 2 or 3 years experience, and therefore none seem willing to give you that first 2 or 3 years of experience. Bitches.

yeah I've found that when scouting out the job market for interior designers
even the junior design jobs say "requires at least 2 years experience" so it appears I'm expected to do a voluntary internship until I'm considered experienced enough to employ, which is extremely difficult when you need food to live.

I'm going for something called a KTP instead
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, which need less experience, work half with unis and half with industry, but should count as experience when then applying for a job. And you get paid.

that sounds good
I was looking for an apprenticeship but they don't seem to do them for interior designers. The job prospects do look slightly better in Australia though so all is not lost

Just go freelance
I considered it, but wouldn't be able to manage the setup costs.

As a new graduate I wouldn't have the first clue where to start though
I think I would need to train properly before I could just start my own.
