Been a designer/AD for seven years: does it still make sense to list adobe, coding, etc under a "Skills" header on my resume? The adobe stuff is a given no? And mention other stuff in interviews?

I stopped putting programs on my resume just recently because I’ve seen a trend to leave them off as you become more experienced. Not sure if it’s a good thing, I just like the way it looks sans program skills

At that level, I’d list it.

I would also list one or two “skills” you want to be doing more of. Why put down PowerPoint when you can pick up more Cinema3D experience. I wouldn’t be upset to hear you’re ambitious enough to be learning new, related capabilities in the interview.

I say yes because recruiters see your qualifications first. They might not realize that it’s a given like a design director would.

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions.

I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)

i don't know y i was not selected, and i think its still worth it to reach out. 1 because i think i did well in the interviews and 2 its saves both of us time - to know if i should pursue further or not. Thoughts?
