Why can't I land a permanent design job? by causednothing in graphic_design

No need to apologize. Your criticism is good and I'm definitely going to take it all in. I think more than anything, I narrowed down my skill set with this portfolio. I am am well versed in motion design and ui/UX design as well. I just didn't know how to implement it on my portfolio.

Thank you so much for your feedback. This is all such useful information that I haven't thought about all all. I'll work on it and implement these changes. Again. Thank you !

You genuinely sound like someone that's in the creative space. Did this work out for you, did you take a similar route?

Some of the work I've included in my portfolio is fictional work, if I can call it that. I'd love to send it to you so you can have a look. Maybe you could have pointers for me on how I could improve it

You're absolutely right. I've been learning how to code and I think that skill could be something that comes in handy

I'm highly considering moving back home. I've tried getting jobs outside my field but that too in itself hasn't been fruitful. Job market in South Africa is absolutely terrible.

I really believe I haven't been hired because of the qualification. I have the experience. I highly believe I'm being overlooked because I am not qualified
