Hi there!
Please find a FAQ guide below.

1. It feels like my resume goes into a dark hole. How can I ensure it gets reviewed?

Networking with recruiters. Also, having referrals is incredibly helpful too. They can follow up on your behalf potentially.

2. What makes an applicant stand out in today's market?

A portfolio that has well-written case studies and highlighting your experience/exposure to a particular industry.

Tell a complete story in your case study, highlighting the problem, what you did, how you did it and the outcome. Describe the challenges you faced and how you overcame them. Include user quotes where possible. Use graphic design elements like color, typography, and hierarchy.

Make your portfolio memorable, but avoid sensory overload. If you don't feel confident in your graphic skills or lack the time, consider hiring a graphic designer for assistance. Please note they should not modify or re-create your actual work products.
