Thanks for the advice everyone, I’ve tried to take as much as I can of it on-board with the way I’m approaching the job hunt. I’m contacting studios and companies directly as well as looking on LinkedIn, Indeed, Adrem, Dezeen etc. Unfortunately still no luck so I’m thinking the timing is bad and that my CV/folio/website aren’t working for me.
I’ve revisited the look of my CV to make it look cleaner and more easily readable by potential employers/recruiters. I’ve taken all your advice and dropped the thermometers, I tried them out as an experiment and clearly it didn’t work. Also I’ve toned down the colour and icons as suggested.
I’m thinking of taking this cleaner look over to a new web layout (fortunately the other half is a web developer!) and to the print portfolio too. Let me know what you guys think on the new look:
Again, I really appreciate the time you all have taken to respond and help me out
Thanks!
