I know…I have been out of work for 5 months in Los Angeles but dont know why. I think I have a good online portfolio but for some reason I am getting very few interviews but no connections. Recruiters are no help. Here is my site http://www.dfourf.com

Hello all, I have been out of work for 5 months now and I dont understand why. I have 7 years experience and live in Los Angeles. Right now, work all around is starting to pick up again but I am NOT getting any interviews. It is really starting to scare me. Any suggestions?

I am a young student majoring in Graphic design.
I love working with different programs such as photoshop and Illustrator. I am told that I have a lot of creativity, but I’m still scared about not finding enough work to fully support myself later in my career…
I would rather work for a fulltime company/design studio(creative team) rather than freelance. Both sides appeal to me, but I would feel most secure with a set job place rather than searching on my own. Since I live in a rather small area with little graphic design job opprotunites, in order to be successful, I might have to move and that worries me. (Not saying I need to be really rich or anything, but the old “starving artist” thought doesn’t appeal to me!)This may just be worries/paranoia because I am young and inexperianced, but I plan to live and take care of my mother and I just hope that I can survive and be happy in this field with so much competition.
(I am not really aggressive to “fight” for jobs in a sense)

My dream would be to do character design or cartoon artist. But my professor has warned me that this tends to be a rather small niche and it’s not realistic to try and stick to one such thing as this.

Thank you for this information! It make me more hopeful.

Thanks! This helps because it is so hard to find design jobs. Especially in MI right now, our economy is really hurting.

My dream job: its not so much the specific title but the organization I work for. I want to work for the Humane Society or the ASPCA. I love animals! I had the opportunity to freelance for the Michigan Humane Society for awhile. Loved it!
