Do people deal with first day jitters when they start a new job. Specifically a job in an area they don’t consider to be their specialty? I’ve been mostly print and brand focused, new job is digital.

Think of digital as an offshoot of DM, social is a bit more like PR. Media has a much heavier influence on digital, as every aspect can be measured and hyper-targeted. Specs are gonna be a much bigger consideration, too. Otherwise, it’s not so different.

Different medium. That’s it. The main thing you need to consider is legibility. If you can design, you can design.

Hello does HCL announce the interview result or just ignore the candidates who have not cleared?

I gave my virtual interview on 3rd August and I asked the HR about the status. He said he'll update me but haven't heard anything from him even after follow up every week.

I just applied for a Delta flight attendant role and my page glitched right in the middle of my application and now it says I’ve applied even though I didn’t finish answering questions. Has anyone else had this happen? So scared it has completely ruined my chances.

Hello my Fishies!
English is my second language. I learned it 8 years ago and I have been living in the US for the past 5 years. I communicate very well, but sometimes I feel so bad when I don’t, or when I forget an English word in the middle of a design presentation 😣… Sometimes I wake up and my English is not good that day, for realz.
Any other designers who struggle with this? What do you do to feel or do better besides working on your presentation skills?

Designers, have you ever been in a position where you’re pretty much taking the lead on all aspects of the project? I.e writing project briefs, putting together workshops with client, and on top of that you’re the one actually working the outcome of the project? I’m feeling so overwhelmed with a new project that came in and I feel like I’m pretty much the only one doing the work. And on top of that my salary doesn’t reflect the work that I’m doing.
