Same here - it's also got SSL. I add a Vimeo account for not much money and that'll let me customize the videos I embed.

Hey all, what do you usually talk/share in your 1:1 meeting with your supervisor? I think I should take this opportunity to get feedback from him or share some goals and vision, other than that I feel nervous and don't know what to talk about. In addition, sometimes I'm afraid to be judged by him if I have nothing to say. Any advice? Thanks. :)

Layoffs.fyi

As layoffs start ramping up. I’m getting pretty worried. Should I start trying to find a more recession proof industry to work in-house at (currently at an agency). Or should I double down on my efforts to look great at my agency so I’m less likely to get fired?

Hi all, I joined a company 7 weeks ago as a motion graphics designer in the marketing team. 5 weeks after I joined, two coworkers in my team, both titled marketing associate handed in two weeks notice and leaving on the same day. They told me the reason they leave is because of the head of marketing who was my hiring manager during the interview process. I do find there is a lack of management and project planning.(I will continue the story in the comment section due to word limit in this post)

I had a really weird interview for Creative Director today.

It’s a small startup. HR interviewed me and asked all the hard hitting questions (how do you get design inspiration, how do you deal with design roadblocks, what sets you apart for this role?) which I thought was odd for a screening interview.

They made some affirmative noises then said the next step would be a design test (one pager) which I would present to a panel of interviewers including the CMO.
Anyone else think this is odd?

I work at a design agency and we don’t always have data or do usability testing to validate our design. It all depends on the project scopes and the clients. In many cases, we just design and get the stakeholders to review then we will ship the design.

It’s always my pain point of selling myself. Its also the reason why I am leaving agency world. It really worries me as I will be interviewing with my dream company very soon. Any tips to help me to overcome it? Should I fake it until I make it?
