Keep trying, the market is terrible right now so it’s not you at all.

If you haven’t already, look for people on LinkedIn who are in the roles you want and reach out to talk to them about their experiences. Networking and getting on peoples’ radars will help you out a ton.

From my POV (which is exclusively in advertising), graphic designers are starting to be outsourced/ replaced by AI and some agencies aren’t hiring junior creatives at all.

I don’t know how much experience you have but if it’s less than 5 years, it’s probably a tough market to enter in this era.

You’re definitely on the right track of tailoring your resume and portfolio for the kind of job you want. I think there’s just less jobs out there now :(

Why is it some companies make you reapply to a role when you’re towards the end of the interview process?

Applied for a position in PWC UK and status shows as 'interviewin' on workday. Does this mean I'm selected for an Interview, or that the position itself is now in the interviewing process.

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency. I had other offers prior to accepting this job that may still be options, and going back to my old job (for a pay cut) might also be an option. I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
