Looking to network with other creatives

I am a fine dining cook, a designer (Ux, graphic, logo, website) and currently unemployed due to transportation issues and now financial issues. If anyone has any ideas from work from home jobs or anything else I mentioned above, please feel free to contact me #designer #cook #workfromhome

When is an interview asking too much of a designer before hiring? Seems like free work?

I had an interview today with a person of a small business who never asked me how much I want to get paid or even what type of position I was looking for in terms of freelance or part-time. They also didn’t bother to ask me where I was located nor did they state their location on the job listing. This interviewer asked for examples of my design work which I provided via email to which she responded by saying this is not my taste. Of course it’s not your taste when the designs were not catered to your company and they were designed for somebody else which I explain to her. It was kind of odd to have to explain this to a person who claims to be in the industry for 10 years . She then requested that I provide designs that are more catered towards her company she also requested that I send her trends that again are geared towards her company, to me this was asking for a job that I would normally get paid for. I’m starting to think this person is using the interview process as a tactic to get free designs from interviews . When do you think interviewers looking for freelance designers are asking for too much? And where do you draw the line? #interview #jobsearch #scams #freelance #designer

Got a full time freelance job!

So after 13 months of unemployment and applying to over 2000 applications, I finally got myself a freelance job at a publishing agency so I will be designing book covers for authors! The best part is, it’s a remote job so I can work at home!

In addition, I may get hired from a full time on site designer job next week as my first interview went well and now I have to see the owner.

God does wonders! I returned to Jesus in January of this year and after praying and crying, he has heard my prayer. Never give up everyone! Turn to God and he will help you!

Have a great day!

The biggest mistake I made as a #Designer at #FSG ...

i should've went to HR sooner, but kept on working in fear of losing my job, and when i finally got up enough courage was let go anyway
