That's exactly what I did.
Got an underpaid shit job that was forced to take anyone.
Went to therapy for a year to overcome application anxiety.
Started a job application marathon.
Landed my dream job half a year later.

Wow you are the success story I needed to hear. I've been struggling with depression and unemployment for more than a year, and recently got a plebe job at Famous Retail Chain. I did some therapy and it helped but I'm now running out of government support for it so I won't be able to afford it anymore. I'm considering a psychologist online in my country of origin which would be substantially cheaper.

That's really great to read. Congrats! I'm very happy for you.

Took me nine months of applications. Nothing for 7 months, suddenly 3 offers in a month. I got a hell of a good step up from my part time IT gig though, so it was worth the trouble.
