You have a great portfolio and clearly a great designer! The job market is so difficult right now so just keep applying, you WILL get there!

My advise would be to share more working/ thought process behind the final designs. There is some of this but go more in depth and show how your brain works and thought process to get to the final polished designs.

Hope this helps 😊

Thank you for your advice! It does help :)) I am always nervous to share unpolished things but i guess showing the process could give a glimpse into my process. Thank you I’ll work on incorporating more of this

You have an excellent portfolio. The problem isn’t your work, it’s the job market.

Your portfolio is good, nothing is wrong with it. Like someone mentioned. It’s the job market because I’m a graphic designer and struggling as well.

Hi Paulina, I think you have a good grasp of using color and layout. If I could recommend one thing to the portfolio it would be to show more examples of creating digital assets for ads and social media posts.

In terms of searching for a job, I found success when I applied to jobs that had less than 30 applicants, preferably less than 10. If a job post is 2 weeks old and has over 100 applicants, they will never see your stuff. I made this mistake for several months and hope to help others avoid the same.

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.

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?

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!
