After 9 months of unemployment, I finally landed a job as a Brand Lead Designer with a pay and title bump from my last position. What worked for me: 1) Invest serious time into your portfolio—push it until it’s the absolute best it can be. 2) Be specific on LinkedIn searches. Instead of just “graphic designer,” filter for location + remote + “under 100 applicants.” Applying early to new listings with fewer applicants made all the difference compared to jobs with 100+ apps already stacked.

Hey fishies! I’m looking to take a leap into the remote world. I am a Sr. Graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. I’m looking to take on more of an art director and creative director role, remotely. I can attach my website and a portfolio if anyone can help out. I have been designing professionally now for just over 15 years now. I work very quickly and very well with other team members. I also take on freelance work. I’m married with 2 kids so the more work the better.

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!

How much time should I expect between starting a UX design boot camp, doing a job placement program with portfolio building to landing my first gig? I hope to be able to work quickly because I’ll have 15-20/week devoted to learning.
