Also your site name “designsby...” makes it feel like your a designer not looking for ACD roles. Hope this helps!

Are you missing the fact it’s a global pandemic and people aren’t hiring?! Not trying to be snarky but lots of companies are just not hiring right now, and are trying not to lay off existing folks.

Good points thank you.

Are you applying to ACD roles or associate/design director roles? You’re a designer right?

I’d agree with the above comment that the site currently is not optimized for mobile and leads to a bit of a clunky nav experience.

Also if you’re looking for design specific roles, lead with the design! There’s quite a bit of copy both on the home page and the project pages. While it’s important to give context to the work, I’d try to simplify that as much as possible, or at least parse out the copy into bite size chunks in between the work to create a story narrative and give way more emphasis to the visual work.

And one last note is that the POV of the site ranges from first person in the ‘work’ section to third person in the ‘about me’ section where you go between Joey and Doran. I would make it all consistent and choose the identity that you prefer.

I noticed your resume does not list dates next to your past employers, it makes me feel like you were probably contract and only were there to work on a project? Is there a reason why you did not list dates? TIA! Just asking cause I have never seen that before and wasn’t sure if this was a new trend in listing experiences in our resumes.

I’m interviewing with the company although I have offer signed with another (going though background checks, so didn’t wanna stop before knowing 100%).

I'm curious what my expectations should be for a base salary for an HR Generalist position at a plastics injection manufacturer. They are approximately 355+ employees with 4 plants. I have 3+ years experience as a recruiter, 15+ years experience has a top manager/leader, and a bachelor's degree. I haven't worked since I was laid off from my previous position in 2020. In my 5 interviews I have had so far, salary has not been mentioned once. What do you think I should expect if offered?
