Thing I don't understand is, if the skills matched to what you have, why do companies reject people so fast?

Personally, I think their system is programmed to search words and phrases, kind of like the people using them.

I mean, if you’re sending a resume to the local TV station for a job doing weather- related graphics, it’s not like your resume will be reviewed by an HR pro who has those skills, too. The hiring manager has given them things to look for, i,e., specific words and phrases, same as they’ll program (well, type) into the “search parameters” of their online search tool.

It’s critically important to remember that the first person you communicate with when applying may not have even the most basic understanding of what the day-to-day duties consist of for EVERY job title given to them. (That’s not even a reasonable thing to expect!)

I also think, is also because you have more skills than what the position want, and the managers may worry you take their jobs later after they hire you. I had that issue from my previous company, after they find out I have AS and BS degrees, and they freak out and wrote me up 1 week later afterward.

Hey fishies! I’m looking to take a leap into the remote world. I am a Sr. Graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. I’m looking to take on more of an art director and creative director role, remotely. I can attach my website and a portfolio if anyone can help out. I have been designing professionally now for just over 15 years now. I work very quickly and very well with other team members. I also take on freelance work. I’m married with 2 kids so the more work the better.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
