If I could improve one thing on The Dots to further help your career, what would it be?
We’re always looking for ways to improve The Dots to make it even easier for you to promote yourself, connect, collaborate and carve out the career path of your dreams.
I'd absolutely love your feedback on ways we can improve things!
This could be improvements to our job section, ask forum, events hub, how you create your profile, promoting your work – or anything in between.
All feedback gratefully received :-)

- Hey Pip! We would love to have more options on the Project page like reorder assets and more typographic layouts options for example!
- I like the design of the profile page, but I would really like to have links to my other social media profiles here - Instagram & Behance in particular.
- My connection button has a limit which has nothing to do with me as the people I connected with went inactive and now it doesn’t let me connect with people who actually are actively interested in chatting with me. I’d reccomend not having a limit or having a limit similarly to Facebook per sent request
- In person workshops, so you get the 360 experience of a shoot, production.... the different roles. Maybe creative meet ups eg creatives meeting agencies .
- I'd love a section for returners, that has lots of advice from people who have managed to return to a career after a break. Maybe courses, talks or pre recorded videos by people in industry, mentors, etc.
- would be great to add courses to the Dots and maybe some sort of accreditation of ones completed. I am learning UX/UI and would love to do that here
- Maybe I've missed this and it's already possible, but the ability to date projects rather than just re-order them would be brilliant. Additionally I'd be interested in being able to date/reorder projects I've been credited in.
- I'd like to have the "Save question" feature too! Some great resources to come back too.
- Please let us save questions. People provide so many useful tips in their replies but unfortunately we can't save them to come back to them when needed.Also please let us turn off notifications, the only way for me to find things again is through notifications but there are too many notifications that are unimportant for me. Thanks :))
- Andriod needs an app!! :(
- I'd love to see salary guides for different industries & roles
- What is the best way to make a plan, one that works and is achievable
- To include the job title Chief Data Privacy Officer
- hey hey, just an idea for the message board: to have an unread button. so we can easily filter through it. thats all, not much. just something i experiences just not.
- When I first joined The Dots, it was not clear to me for many months, what the website was for. I just joined because the tagline said, "The dots is for people who don't wear suits." The videos you sent me really cleared up a lot of things.
- @Lauren Mustoe , I fully agree with you. The user experience is totally different now. But I hope things might change, as things evolve.
- @Thérèse B. Yes I loved that previous layout it felt so creative and made me feel proud to see my work laid out in such a way. I used to curate it and move relevant work around to lead the view down the page. Now it just feels like you see the first few projects and if that doesn't capture someones attention then that's it. There was something powerful seeing everything you've worked on laid out in such a way, really captivates you!
- I agree with@Lauren Mustoe that the new layout for one's profile is far too similar to LinkedIn now. For me, you've lost what made The Dots stand out from other social channels, which made it more relevant than others. Didn't see this kind of change coming. But maybe it's more relevant to the headhunters, and therefore needed?It would be interesting to grasp your –@Pip Jamieson &/ team – thoughts where you're going with this, and the changes you're planning to implement further on. Have you maybe stated that somewhere else on the site?All the best!
- I think it's time to start re-thinking the 'Ask' section.A good idea could be creating a new section dedicated to freelance job proposals (let's call it 'Gigs') with a sistem that permits the post creator to mark as 'assigned' when he/she finds the right person to work it.I said this because I often receive notifications when people respond to 'Ask's' posted months before, that's why people don't know if that job offer is still available or not.
- @Lauren Mustoe Its too much like Linkedin now. The way the whole profile page was set out was way more creative and what made The Dots different
- I don't think I'm feeling this new update on The Dots, your personal profile - It limits how you can see all of your work and how others see it all at once. For me I like to go on and see what I've uploaded so far and what else I need to upload as I could see it all on one page but now its limited to the right hand side and you have to keep clicking see more.
- Hi pip!I think adding more photos to be uploaded on questions would be brilliant! I also think you should add a group chat setting so if anyone is collaborating it would be easier to arrange things, just a thought!Kind regards,Charlie
- @Glen Paul Mendes I think that's a brilliant idea!
- I am a Fine Artist. Would it be possible to set up a board or place with commissions, that can be applied for?
