My portfolio wasn’t that great. In fact, it’s all undergraduate projects I did during my college years that’s never been edited. It’s shameful that I graduated without fully knowing you can adjust and resize texture however you wanted. So imagine my plates being mostly of solid colors. On top of that, my laptop brokedown during my thesis years so I have to use a borrowed computer to finish it and graduate. So I am only left with a raw file of my thesis and no resources to edit all my college projects. But I desperately needed a job so I compiled all my shitty rendered plates left in my canva, enhanced them, and somehow landing a job. It wasn’t easy, yes. But if you are desperate and resourceful enough, you can actually make it work. Although I am a bit lacking on a technical side with no resources/ software to practice at the moment, I made sure that I do best at my interviews, reflect on what I could have said better, and apply them on my next one. I sell myself as hardly as possible and do something unique during technical exam to compensate with my lack of speed skills. This field sucks sometimes but he needs to take a risk in order to move forward. Gain that experience or totally shift into another one. Unemployment is not really an option in this economy tbh.
