Priorities people!

I am so curious about the design crit where someone (presumably a very smart person) said “yeh that’s the direction we want”….

Ummmm trying to find another word to describe this other than just … super cool?

The time Larry David wasn’t happy with J.B. Smoove showing up late to his own party 🤣….this should’ve been an episode of Curb!

Yeh I’m well-aware of the general advice, more so just would to hear more specifics about the roles I look for and what is/isn’t missing.

Hey #designsky , can any recruiters help me with an honest portfolio / resume review?

After getting laid off for the 2nd time in a year, I'm back on the hunt and would love to know how a recruiter "scans" my application.

Willing to pay for an honest review #jobhunting #tech #productdesign #design
