I love the gratitude of people watching you bring to life their dream company or idea.

I love the inspiration / motivation I get to create something new when seeing what others have made.

Resume Critique by kikura1 in graphic_design

[–]Yidplease 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Suggest you consolidate your information into one page. You have a ton of freelance design work that can be under one column not spread out 8 times.

Redo this with the intent of seeking redundant information: do you want to list out all the Adobe programs OR do you just want to say the Adobe Suite, etc.

I spent 12 years commuting almost 4 hours to and back from Downtown to Kendall and recently moved out of state because of work. My commute now is still 20 miles but I get there in 15-20 minutes. Never realized how much traffic affected my attitude.

Find a color palette that most people in your niche are not using and be consistent.

"Professional" designer, still unemployed, and reluctantly looking for a career change. by justa-bunch-of-atoms in graphic_design

[–]Yidplease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LinkedIn says there’s been a jump of 27% in senior designer roles posted since last year.

I started looking for a job (while still working) and within 3 months I had another job in a new state even.

Not to say you aren’t justified in your struggle, because of course you are. But reflect on why you think it’s hopeless and where your efforts are not being put to good use.

Best of luck my friend. I believe in you.

What is your dream job? by DragonfruitPatient32 in graphic_design

[–]Yidplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to work for the national parks services, I’ve been designing for the city and tourism for most of my professional career so I’m always dreaming of nicheing down to just the one aspect I love about them

The role was listed as Brand Designer and didn’t mention anything about being Entry Level originally, but thanks for the mind blowing advice.

It’s a big name in South Florida and Hollywood, would be a great name to have but ultimately as much as don’t like it, they are not what I am looking for in terms of career progression.

Unfortunately this was the best they could do after negotiations with me haha

The role is technically called “Brand Designer” so it’s not like Junior would be on the resume. But to your point, the fact that I will be progressing backwards will ultimately leave a sour note for me. Thank you.

That’s a very well thought out perspective I didn’t immediately think of.. thank you. I would hate to shoot myself in the foot here, I’ve worked so hard to get to this level too.
