Today I got some bummer news that I did not get a job position I had interviewed for. This position was, like, the holy grail of design positions out there. It wasn't that it was just the best one available out there right now, but it was the kind of position I dream about having.
So, I didn't get it. What I now want to know is what I can do the next time this kind of opportunity rolls around to ensure I actually get the job. One of the pieces of feedback I received was that I was over-qualified for their design intern position, which I hadn't applied for, and under-qualified for their design position. I was then offered a potential consideration for a future contract role.
I need to figure out what is it about me, my portfolio, and/or experience that has me pegged as an eligible contract-designer but not a full-time designer. SPECIFICALLY in a larger studio environment. I haven't had any difficulties with smaller studios, but I really want to go in the direction of working in a larger, more corporate environment that has an emphasis in marketing.
If you have stumbled across this and know something (anything) about design, I would love some feedback.
