I got laid off in December after being with the company over ten years. I have major imposter syndrome I think. I was a senior designer but a lot of positions hiring want ux/ui and video animation. I’m totally willing to learn but feeling behind. I’m struggling with putting together my website showcasing my work. I’m overwhelmed and overthinking everything. Im just looking for some advice. I’m going though a hard time. 😔

Deep breath.

Ok. There’s a bunch of shifting in the marketplace right now, and a bunch of companies hesitant to hire, don’t beat yourself up. There’s plenty in your position.

Here’s what you can do:

Organize all your work and categorize it. If you’re having trouble deselecting, have some peers you trust to be honest give you feedback on what to include. Have a very short story for each project - what the problem was, how you solved it.

Work your network. Build it. Follow people that reshare jobs, are hiring, and are insightful.

Set aside 2 hours of time each day to learn something you can add to your set of skills via YT, LI, etc.

And remember everyone (who doesn’t have collusions of grandeur) in this biz feels like you do rn at some point in their career.

Good luck.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

Instead I am just being asked to develop the tools.

My hypothesis is a clear lack of strategy and no accountability for process compliance will mean any tools developed will fail.

Would you take job in those circumstances?
