Here's some career advice for you graphic designers out there. The creative industry is tough out there right now. Recently, I've seen some close friends, colleagues, and members of our community get laid off, even after dedicating decades to their companies.
It's frustrating, and I felt compelled to share some unfiltered truths about the reality of working in the design industry.
In this video, I share - or rant about :-) - nine key pieces of advice, covering topics like why you are your own best advocate, why HR isn’t your friend, the importance of networking, and how to maintain a mindset of constant learning. We'll also dive into the ageism prevalent in our industry, the significance of showcasing your work, and much more.
So, buckle up for some hard truths and essential advice to help you navigate your career in graphic design!
