see, sweetie, the way to go about your job search is to stick to your passions and
try to find any kind of work in photography, rather than trying to get any kind of job anywhere.there is work, i guarantee you, if you search thoroughly enough. forget about immolating yourself in the altar of corporate jobs. perhaps you think unconsciously that if it doesn't entail suffering it's not a job? well you don't have to suffer or live like a fish out of water in order to make money. on the contrary, the more you enjoy your job the better you'll do and the more people will pay you.
you could start working for free, as an intern, and as you gain experience people will start hiring you. usually after 3 months or so people will want to hire you if you are doing any kind of good job. so if you can live 3 more months "unemployed" you could score a nice job at the end of that time.
the other path is to be a freelancer or to even just take photos & see who can buy them. don't think that you have to be a superprofessional, not everybody is willing to pay big bucks for a pro, and so you can fill in a niche for people who need budget photo.
anyway i hope this turns out well for you.
