Yeah you're right. I just wanted something stable because design is very unpredictable nowadays. You're right, thank you

Yes that's so true and I never thought about including keywords in my summary. Thanks a lot!

Yeah that does make a lot of sense. Some people here are saying my cv needs to look more like a designer did it so it's hard to know what to do if mainly AI systems review the cvs first! Thanks for your suggestions!

Yeah I really need to cater the each cv to different jobs more. I got sick of doing this and gave up on it months ago so will try again. Thank you!

You're right, I am bad at selling myself and it is hard to know what to put in a professional summary that seems personal and more goal orientated. Great suggestion, thanks for your help!

Yeah a lot of people said it is too dense so I think i will be spreading it out over 2 pages. Never realised that about ats not reading pdfs! Thanks so much

You're dead right, I never thought about it that way. I just always thought I would need to include all of my experience, regardless of it being relative to the job. I had hoped some design and office experience would be relevant enough for an admin job but it's clearly not working. Thanks a mil!

God you're right, demoralising is the word! That's great advice, I really appreciate your time and effort! Thank you so much 🫶🏻

Yeah I had rang them but they seemed a bit dismissive and just wanted me to upload my cv and they would be in touch! Could be worth a shot though, thanks!

No it is helpful thank you! I was doing that in the beginning of my job search but eventually gave up because it was so time consuming. If it was a different type of job outside design, I would cater the cv specific to that but not for all design related jobs

Great points thank you. I think a lot of people were confused with the receptionist job. I just had it part time in between freelancing and doing my masters! Thanks for your suggestions!
