Graduated in 2020, wanted to be a graphic designer, took a job at a startup in a social media role. The boss called me the "r" word for not handling entire 13-ish accounts roster well by myself. I quit. Found a role as social media specialist. Realized (again) that I hate social media. Moved to in-house mktg manager, only to be a glorified graphic designer / someone to call the city to cut down trees. I job hopped too much, I feel my portfolio is empty. How do I restart again? I feel defeated.

I know this is a tough position to be in! I really think you should start from a real jr graphic designer role in a design studio or agency, it’s the only way to work your way up and get the experience you really want

I agree! I think my main concern is how I present myself and the two years of unstable work history. I’ve been considering revamping my resume / portfolio to perhaps portray myself as a new grad and start from fresh? Since I obviously don’t want to put boss #1 as a reference.

Who’s the boss and start up?? I just wanna talk

So sorry that you went through that! Glad you’re out of there

I work in a corp environment & wondering what others think about this -

I have a large team and after me, I have a supervisor and a manager who my supervisor reports to. The manager recently got promoted to director & my boss is likely to take her role within the next 6 mos.

I was promoted in aug and wondering if it’s crazy to ask for another promo after my boss gets manager. This wouldn’t be for 6-12mos & I will be in my role for close to a year.

Is this too soon to ask? TIA!

Any and all advice appreciated.
