Hi everyone.
I am struggling with finding a new job in graphic design sphere as an employee not a freelancer. I am working as a graphic designer at a small company for more than 6 months, but want to move to the bigger city and change the job. I have been making graphics for a long time, I started with vector graphics and last year I have begun with banners and overall with Adobe Creative Suit.
I have a title from a different field of study, but in my country people do not pay attention to the education of graphic designers as in other countries (as I know).
I am not sure if I have a strong portfolio to find a new job. I have been looking for almost two months and answered to 23 job offers (10 of them are new and I still have not had an answer) and I attended only 2 job interviews. Need to say not every job offer was explicitly for juniors.
I work so hard… Last few months I was focused to my portfolio and remake my website (I did it all on my own, learnt HTML and CSS), made an interactive pdf CV, started to learn video editing and motion graphics, I try to make new stuffs, banners, adds, my own projects.
But maybe it is not good enough. Maybe I do not do enough… And maybe these feelings are normal in finding a new job. But I do not find a lucrative job offer, a smaller salary is enough for me. Maybe there is really a lot of competition. But I tell myself that if I have already managed to find a job in a graphic design, I will be able to do it again. besides, I have come a long way since then.
I will be really pleased if someone from this field could give me a feedback to my portfolio. You can find in here: Lenka Zimová aka Sariklen (+ here and here are hidden projects)
Sorry that my web is not in English language, it will be soon. Now just look at the design itself.
Thanks for advice, feedback or your story.
