How to get an entry level job in Graphic Design
Is becoming a graphic designer a good career path?
I’ve applied to over 100 graphic design jobs and nothing.
What's a graphic designing job like?
Hi everyone, I've never posted on reddit so bear with me, but I'm struggling a little bit. I am a recent graduate, I have a bachelors degree in Visual Arts Management and a minor in Digital Media. I just recently made the switch from working in art galleries to trying my hand at Graphic Design. I've probably applied for hundreds of Graphic Design jobs, Junior Graphic Design Jobs, Internships, and I haven't heard back from a single one. I mainly find the jobs on LinkedIn, but I also scour the websites of companies I am familiar with to see if they have job listings. I have also applied for some on Indeed and ZipRecruiter when I got desperate.
I have a few projects on my website to have something to show for a portfolio. There's only two projects on there, because I find it difficult to come up with a fake idea for a mockup or brand logo, etc. But for an entry level job how many do I really need? I am also trying to find my personal style as well.
Is my website tacky? Am I trying too hard or not enough? What is my issue! I have a lot of creativity I want to share, but it just doesn't seem like any one is biting.
