Don't give up!
All I can add is don't give up!.
Those who stick with it will make it. I waited for years for a break until it all fell together and no - I was self funded all the way.
Sell yourself (not for free), Be prepared to move & Network.
Over the years I have seen too many fresh CPL's give up after only a few months sitting around a capital city.
Almost all those I know who have 'made it' tell the same story;
They travelled, they tried anything and they networked. Remember, the guy standing in front of you at the airport canteen may one day be a good contact for a job. A lot of positions are filled by 'who you know'.
