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.
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

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.

Brand Designer | Google UX Professional | does good work but doesn’t do “interview tests”, “spec work” or “task” . I believe they give a bad image to employees, employers and the industry
Should also turn water into wine, quickly

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

Experienced Team Leader in Digital Marketing @ Everwise Credit Union | Digital Marketing Strategy | Websites | Analytics | HubSpot
10000% this. Digital marketing right now is also being a jack of all trades, but everyone has to have an expertise (you don't want to be a master of none!). For success, the team must work together, listen, and learn more from those who have different proficiencies and perspectives. This is how you build a wholistic campaign (design, etc.). Companies want less people to do more work. This may save on salary, but in the end they will suffer losses from people's inability to focus and excel in exchange for just getting things done. Less payroll does not = more revenue.

Art Director, Senior Brand Designer, Art Licensing and Children's Book Illustrator, Graphic Designer, and Fine Artist with 15+ years experience. Available for full-time, part-time, contract and remote/hybrid roles.
So glad to hear this seasoned Art Director write about this. I was just speaking about this the other day myself. After several years of being self-employed as an Art Director and Sr Brand Designer (and subcontracting specialists for various tasks and newer technologies I couldn't do myself), I'm casually looking into working for an agency again. It's been shocking to see so many job advertisements that expect expert experience in many different specialist areas. Graphic Designers are now expected to be 2d designers, 3d designers, UX /UI designers, illustrators, web develop3"ers, web designers, animators, marketing strategists, photographers, photo editors, videographers, video editors, copywriters...the list goes on. It's even more shocking when you see low-ball salaries attached to these roles. As brand strategists/designers we often speak to our clients about niching down (aka it's better to be an expert at one thing, than mediocre at many things), yet how many agencies are trying to hire these multi-specialist generalists, who, let's face it, are probably not multi-specialists and only try to look like that on paper?

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.
