Hi everyone,

I have been graduated from a visual arts/graphic design related field of study for a long time and have been trying to get into the field for some time but have had trouble or no time to develop a portfolio to show does anyone have any advice for developing one despite not having experience in the field yet?

Honestly, passion projects... Build projects that assess and address certain pains or problems. I've been building a portfolio pretty much entirely of my own passion projects for the past few years. I'd also say include some of your study work in it as well until you create work that showcases your improvement to replace it

Follow a youtube video on Wix or wordpress building. Watch how they build the site, and follow it step by step. Then tweak to your own style.

I recommend making time to create/edit your portfolio, it’s almost crucial that you do in this industry because employers will most likely be viewing this before your resume. Gather school projects AND include new projects like Graphic Designer 1 said.

Best of luck!! ❤️

I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?
