This is fantastic, well done! I see questions like these on Reddit all the time, from inexperienced and experience folks, so this is really helpful. I giggled at "your website should probably built in Webflow if youre applying to Webflow" :)
thanks for sharing! you described them very thoroughly and i learnt a lot. i want to ask about: how would you approach design job applications when all you have in your portfolio personal/self-initiated projects and none from your current/previous job because: a. the job has no challenge/creativity isn't encouraged/new ideas are dismissed, so there's nothing to show anyway b. the job was slightly different from what is asked in the application (yes, this is my situation right now 😬) thank you!
Thank you for another great and very informative video. Really enjoying your channel and have learnt so much. It is very useful to see a knowledgeable person's view on the contents of job ads.
This was great, thank you so much. I rewatched it several times. Would be nice if you could make a video for the first UX job application as I am switching my career. Thank you so much again for all your practical and useful videos
I don't know why but I always get a kick out of how there is so much parallelism with the software industry. The fact that no code tools exist for designers is the same reason no design tools exist for software developers. Do designers also cringe at the no design tools?
Super useful video. But a quick question. How to cater 1 Portfolio website to so many different employers. For eg. How do I keep the Web Design Project first in my portfolio when applying for Website designer related jobs and how to do I keep the Branding project first when applying for Brand Deininger role? Is there a Webflow or CSS trick?
You could easily build a page within your site that isn’t necessarily part of the public navigation. yourname.com/companyportfolio or what have you, and then cater that page to the application and link specifically to that page when asked for your portfolio link.
What do you think about a job description says 'Graphic Designer' but adds HTML and css? This is coding and not something graphic designers would know unless they were a web designer? Is it fine to apply and hope that was just on their wish list ?

Thanks for the great video! Still in high school, but the insights were on point for when this is inevitably in my future!
Very very good tips, thanks for sharing this
Was just looking for jobs this morning haha, perfect timing. Thank you so much!
@Lucas Cameron Silence, bots.

Great video! However, what do you do if you just have one portfolio website?? How do you customize your portfolio to each application then?

Thank you 🙏🙏

I’m a graphic designer who is happy with their job but I am so curious what you have to say!
having to depend on a portfolio sucks!
