Struggling to find work
My partner was really supportive and gave me some superb advice and suggestions on how to fix my predicament.
People just do not know how to end the conversation, can it be made more clear

That sounds very positive! What would you like to study? Will you work your way through?
assistant

I would like to study Economics ideally, and will work as hard as I can since it's very competitive

I hear you sounding a little more positive when you try to focus on the future rather than the present. What would you ideally like to be in the future?

Honestly, i'd really love to work as a diplomat or a civil servant You have to be very highly qualified for those though , but a boy can dream...

That is a really worthwhile goal and I genuinely think that you can achieve it if you stick to your guns. Please try not to let one bad year put you off perusing your dream

You are most welcome. We have five minutes left if there's anything you'd like to talk about in addition to what you have already told me. Perhaps you could tell me if you feel a little more positive now? You do sound it

I am definitely feeling a bit more positive after this conversation I think it's good to put things in context and focus on the future, as you said

I am glad to have been able to help. We all need someone to talk to during a time like this Perhaps you should make a plan for some sort of treat a month from now, when things will hopefully be better? Perhaps go out for a pizza night with friends or something?
assistant

That's a really good idea A pizza night would be great for clearing my head
