I joined as a Motion Graphic Designer in Feb 2024 with 4 years of experience, but the company hasn’t given me any motion graphics work. Instead, I've been tasked with using a tool unrelated to my skills. It’s frustrating because this isn't what I was hired for.

I’m trying to switch jobs, but my 3-month notice period is causing companies to lose interest after interviews. I’m worried about the gap this may create in my career.

Any advice on handling the notice period or convincing employers?

The best way to deal with situations like these is to resign first and then look for a new opportunity. 3 months is plenty of time to find a new job. You might zero in on some opportunities near the end of your notice period and that will help you get over the objections employers have.

Have anyone taken Growth school design workshops? Are they even relevant?
I know they might be teaching all proper UX but in reality companies doesn't follow.
There is no scope for doing research. And it is only a handful of product company that has a design team, rest places doesn't even understand what actual Design is. But being in this field, not everyone will get a chance to work with top design driven companies
What's your view?
