The Crit Pit

Hello all,

This is my first time posting in any kind of forum, so quick thanks in advance for your help and patience. To try and keep it brief, I was laid off (for the second time in my design career) about a year ago now, and I’ve been struggling to land a new full-time gig. I think I’ve had about 10 interviews since, and I’ve just fell short of getting the job two different times according to the hiring managers I spoke to.

A little about me, I’ve been a graphic designer for about 9 years, and have worked in marketing most of the time. My last full time job was a for a full service marketing agency, specializing in crowdfunding campaigns. The bulk of the work I did there was create graphics for Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns, and occasionally had the opportunity to do web design for landing pages and eComm websites.

Based on how people usually respond to seeing my resume and portfolio, I feel like I should be getting in for more interviews than I have. So I’d like to post it here to get some unbiased opinions and suggestions. Also, if anyone has any advice on how to position myself to get out of marketing and into a different industry, It’d be much appreciated.

Resume is linked on the ‘about’ page

Thanks again!
