I earned a master’s in instructional design but continue facing rejection while seeking corporate jobs in design, fashion, or cosmetics. I rarely get interviews, so should I explore other avenues?
hey, maybe broaden ur search, network more, & consider freelancin. update ur portfolio so it shows rough experiments in corporate design. keep at it, mayb u’ll find that sweet spot.
I have found that considering alternative angles within the corporate sector can be beneficial. Rather than limiting the search to traditional design roles, reframing your portfolio to emphasize core instructional design principles applied to corporate learning projects has worked for some. Experiment with tailoring your resume to bridge design expertise with business insights. It may also help to engage in industry-specific networking events or digital groups that focus on corporate training. In my experience, expanding your narrative to highlight device-agnostic design skills can open up unexpected opportunities.
