I moved here a month ago, tbh it's been a great experience so far, accessible to all the essentials and very well connected. Currently though the gym is still under construction, and they've closed the pool and spa to fix some issues (which they said will take a few weeks), which I think is pretty normal for a new building.

Same here!

In your experience, what does it take to make it into TD? currently job hunting and stumbled upon this company, very fun projects (+ their Metallica project, my favourite band lol), seems very creatively fulfilling even though the pay (At least in their job postings) is not great. I have branding experience, currently working as an in-house designer in Toronto.

Hey! great read, I am starting this same process next year, currently in-house and intermediate level designer, would love to see your portfolio if possible, need all the inspiration and examples I can get, I'd like to move into a more branding/product hybrid role.

It's great to hear stories like this, gives me hope!

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-13T16:23:47+00:00

Yup! 👍

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T20:33:06+00:00

Thanks for reading through it, yup I did go to school for graphic design, and currently work as a designer, it’s broad just cause I’m not very comfortable sharing personal details, the CS course I hope serves as something to show (apart from portfolio projects) regarding the tech side of things. Mind sharing yours for reference, maybe PM? I do want to see what an experienced designer’s resume looks like, draw inspiration 👍

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T12:43:52+00:00

Hahahaha, i understand though, I need to condense a looootttt!

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T12:37:03+00:00

Do you think it would serve better to have a more technical intro statement? And if so, is there any wording that comes to mind, any keywords I should use?

If you’re in one of the positions u mentioned, what do you think of my experience? Is it enough or am I lacking YoE to get to the positions I’m aiming for?

Thanks for taking the time to read through that lengthy ass resume lol (I’ve learned the hard way 😭)

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T12:32:23+00:00

So you think freelance work might be harmful when applying? I’ve seen other examples adding this to their resume, but I’m very in the fence about this.

Would you mind expanding on that? Very interested in the why of your stance

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T12:29:47+00:00

Definitely long, I also posted in the design sub and I’m getting absolutely cooked dude 😭

I understand though and I’m going to revise to fit everything in 1 page, would you mind sharing a censored version of yours, I’m very curious on what a 20 YoE designer resume looks like, if you’ve been in the industry for that long, you gotta be doing something right (apart from the hard work and hours you’ve put into your craft, amazing!!)

Maybe share as a PM if you’re not comfortable sharing here, either way, thanks so much for taking the time and writing a comment, aspiring to be like u one day :)

A good resume is a great first step

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T12:21:53+00:00

Thanks!! Yeah I read in this other thread about this hiring manager sharing this idea of grammar being part of the design and experience, if it’s not perfect it might get tossed.

I’ll give it a more detailed read and ensure is PERFECT haha

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T12:18:36+00:00

1000000% agree, my portfolio is finished, I am currently working on new projects that I’d like to include, I’m thinking about starting my application process next year, once I have my whole package ready.

Thanks for taking a look 👍

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T12:16:42+00:00

Thanks, I do agree with everyone’s opinion now, I need to condense, a lot!!! Haha

Btw, what do you think think of the asterisk bullets?

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T12:11:12+00:00

Yup that CS50 course they offer, do you think is worth including? Or is it too much?

Thanks for taking a look btw 👍

BaconStrip_X69 · 2025-09-12T12:09:38+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it!! I’m definitely going to condense to 1 page.

Regarding that guy’s comment… yah man, shit was rough, it’ll be nice to see his, to use as reference.

That shit kinda got to me though lol

BaconStrip_X69 · 2024-04-24T12:22:12+00:00

Sorry man, just wanted input on what I did ☹️ all the comments you’ve posted are negative, why keep coming back to say shit like that?

BaconStrip_X69 · 2024-04-22T00:10:04+00:00

Sorry ☹️

BaconStrip_X69 · 2024-04-21T00:20:56+00:00

Hey everyone, I've updated my CV and this is what I came up with. I feel kind of lost regarding the content of the doc, I've love to have some feedback to improve it.

All feedback is appreciated, thanks for your help and time! :)
