No question and doesn’t affect anyone on here but thought I’d share my epic news….

….yesterday I had my first EVER interview as a DESIGNER! I was clutching my first portfolio (print and digital!) and was in with a chance of getting my first job since retraining and pursuing my dreams at the ripe old age of 43!
100 people applied and I was one of just 5 people to be invited to interview! 😁🎉🤪

Today I was told I didn’t get the job this time BUT I still can’t stop smiling because I could have got the job (and it was an amazing one)! And that is enough right now!

Sorry, this is probably of no interest to anyone but thought this was a good platform to share where many of you might understand the elevation of this soppy mare! 😁

  • That's a great way to keep motivated! I try to do the same (and this served as a good reminder to continue!), it can be such a competitive industry but I think persistence can really pay off. Good luck in your search! =)
  • That was so heartwarming to hear and so inspirational!! Thank you for sharing!! Im also trying to apply to design job roles as well so its so nice to hear your story! You Go Girl!!!! Your perfect job will come along with that mindset ✨✨✨✨ & age will always be a number, you are still a great designer and your skills are ageless! 💫
