Exactly!!! I should technically be at a Senior Graphic designer role. But in the four years I was out of a job, I couldnt get one because of requirements like this. ESPECIALLY in regards to UX design and Web Design. They are vastly different than graphic design. They take a skill that I do not have. It’s not my specialty. I excel at Brand identity, digital documents, visual graphics. And accessibility for those with special needs. Not a study on human behavior and how they are going to click things in a web page or app design. These requirements need to change!!
This is unacceptable. A friend recently posted a Senior Graphic Designer role, and I was astonished by the extensive requirements. In my time, designers specialized, not tried to master everything. Companies should stop expecting all-in-one employees; greatness requires a collaborative team effort. Expecting one person to excel at everything is unrealistic and diminishes potential greatness. Creative Directors and hiring managers, reconsider these expectations for a more realistic and effective approach. ……especially for a Sr Graphic Designer. #hiring #jobseekers #hiringmanagers #designer

Freelance Designer & Developer | Teacher | Content Creator, Helping companies to stand out by creating strong visual concepts that lead to higher conversion rates
The trend goes on and on ! Nowadays a Graphic Designer = ['Web Developer', 'UI/UX Designer', 'SEO Specialist', 'Motion Designer'], basically a whole digital team ! In the past, designers used to specialize rather than aiming to master every skill. It's time for companies to rethink their expectations and move away from seeking all-in-one employees. Achieving greatness in design demands collaborative teamwork rather than placing unrealistic burdens on individuals. Hiring managers should reconsider their approach, opting for more realistic expectations to foster genuine effectiveness.

Is this really unacceptable? 💯 My resume actually looks a lot like this. I reflect on my skillset daily, strategizing what new thing I need to learn to stay relevant. If someone asks me to do something I haven't done before, I learn how to do it. Youtube and Chat GPT are my go-to professors. Every marketing job I've had has expected me to have an extensive skillset. I adapt, acquire knowledge, and GSD. It probably helps that I'm passionate AF about marketing. I've been in love and have a deep relationship with WordPress and Adobe Creative Cloud. Me and Elementor are besties. I like hanging out with Illustrator and After Effects like everyday. I also have a crush on Canva, because they're always there for me in a hurry. Convincing CEOs, COOs, and CROs that your skills are worth more money... well that's a case by case basis. A lot of people have skills that deserve more compensation than what they receive. Marketers are just one of many in the salary vs. skills battle.

Thank you for this take, Rich. In my opinion, this goes for all fields. For me it's been difficult to find postings where I'm the right applicant for the job because of certain requirements. That being said, it doesn't hurt to apply and give what you already have instilled within you. What do you have to lose? NOTHING. If you believe you are qualified and meet most, if not all, of the requirements listed, why not give it a go? I ask you all this: Don't stop applying. Don't stop posting. Don't stop networking. Don't. Stop. Period. I believe in you. Don't give up. You got this. We got this. Thank you for reading my post. #opentowork #editor #editing #proofreader #proofreading #publishing #jobseeker #seekingwork #seekingemployment

I wholeheartedly agree, working together as a team is super important if we want to achieve greatness. It's not fair to expect every Graphic Designer, or any professional for that matter, to be amazing at everything. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and when we work together in a collaborative environment, we can use those strengths and weaknesses to come up with more creative and effective results. Plus, if we stick to strict experience requirements, we might miss out on some talented individuals who bring fresh perspectives and skills to the table. Companies need to realize the value of different experiences and create a place where professionals can shine based on what they're best at. I'm just an ordinary person and a designer, and honestly, I don't really care about counting how many years of experience I have in design. Instead of stressing over the number of years of experience, I think it's better to embrace the journey and the ups and downs that come with it. Because honestly, the number of years doesn't define our story as designers. Let's focus on pushing our limits and being limitless in our creativity. 🧝♀️ 😇 🙏

People that have worked under me all know my mantra. "What's your focus." You may be good at a lot of things, but what are you GREAT at? Then that's what we focus on. That's how we will position you to succeed and be showcased. A lot of people use the "jack of all trades" as a positive thing, which in some ways it can be, but it also sets you up to take on FAR more work than your job description entails. Keep in mind below. For a Sr. Graphic Designer... they want you to be able to do: Graphic Design Character Design 2D/3D Design HTML Coding Web Design CRM systems UI/UX knowledge SEO experience Platform design knowledge and also be a team player. lol. Rich Sherman is right on the money on his take of this. I've run into this personally as well. Yes, I CAN do motion graphics, graphic design, 3D work, etc... but is that what I applied for? The more you know.

Experienced Digital Media Lead | Specialist in Paid Social & Integrated Marketing Strategies | Driving Results in B2B & B2C Segments
In today's job market, job descriptions are becoming increasingly exhaustive wish lists, but companies need to remain realistic in the recruitment process. 1) It's understandable that organizations seek top-tier talent, but the laundry list of qualifications and skills required for some roles can be overwhelming. This phenomenon is not exclusive to one field; it's a systemic issue that affects professionals across the board. 2) Are we inadvertently deterring exceptional candidates by setting unrealistic expectations? The emphasis on a lengthy list of prerequisites might exclude competent individuals who bring unique perspectives and skills to the table. 3) As we navigate the evolving job market, I encourage hiring teams to reassess their approach. Let's prioritize essential skills and qualifications, acknowledging that a candidate's potential often extends beyond a checklist. Striking a balance between expectations and reality will not only streamline the recruitment process but also foster diversity and innovation within our teams. 4) It's important to note that as job expectations increase, compensation often does not keep pace. It is time to recalibrate and ensure fair compensation for skills, which will foster a sustainable job market.

What an absolute joke. Alternatively, this is a guide on overworking your staff with minimum pay without actually saying you want to overwork your staff with minimum pay.
