She said she started working as a freelancer and stayed on it for 8 months before luck smiled her way.

Her words:

"I’ve received 38 job rejection emails in total. Yes, I counted. Did I feel bad? YES. Did it stop me? NO. I changed my strategy and began freelancing. Within 8 months of working as a freelancer.
