I need some advice, please:

The owner of the company connected with me on LinkedIn, and when I saw they had a graphic designer position open on Indeed, I applied and reached out to her on LinkedIn. She told me to email her and another person, which I did, but it’s been a week and I haven’t heard back from either of them.

Should I follow up, or just move on? I’m confused why the owner would tell me to email them if they weren’t going to respond.

Follow up, doesn’t cost money

I'd follow up once for sure! I don't want to jump to the worst case scenario but if it's a graphic design job it's possible they saw your work and decided it wasn't a great fit for the job? But you should still try to get more clarity from them.

Follow up. People get busy, vacation, etc. try every 2 weeks up to 3x then wait

Thanks, just sent another follow up email.

I would follow up atleast once before just moving on. Sometimes people get busy and forget to respond. I would follow up by email and just check in to see what they say.

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?

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.
