What do you want to do? The conversation started with asking for feedback on interviewing to be an industrial designer. A few posters commented that your portfolio needs to be stronger. From there I expected the conversation to delve into how to make a stronger portfolio but instead we veered off to leaving ID. That is fine off course, if that is what you want. I think you need to define what it is you want to do and then back track the steps to get there.
I know that can be hard when you are looking for a job. If you don’t define your goal and work toward it it comes off to potentitemployers that you are just applying to anything, and that doesn’t usually come off well.
