⭐ Tips for Designers Seeking Contract Roles ⭐ For all designers struggling to find contract work, try these tips to boost your chances: 1️⃣ Reach Out to Past Contacts 👉 Contact Recruiters or Direct Hiring Managers or Designers you've previously worked with Be Concise: ◾ Include your job title, day rate (inside/outside IR35), availability, CV, portfolio, mobile number, and email in the message to them. ◾ Add a brief bullet point on your key experience (e.g., native app experience, B2C/B2B checkout/conversions, SaaS). Tailor this to the client if you're contacting them directly. 2️⃣ Update Your Portfolio & CV 👉 Highlight Contract Details ◾ Projects: Describe what you worked on (e.g., Native/Responsive app, discovery phases). ◾ Purpose: Explain why you were hired. ◾ Collaboration: Mention who you worked with. ◾ Success Metrics: Define how you measured success. ◾ Role: Outline your daily contributions and processes (keep it brief). ◾ Outcome: Detail the results of your work. ◾ Keywords: Include terms that target specific companies (e.g., SaaS, B2B, data visualization, relevant tools). 🌟Additional Tips🌟 ◾ Tailor Job Titles: If you’re a product designer applying for a UX or service design role, adjust your job title and keywords to align with the position (e.g., UX-weighted Product Designer). ◾ Be Honest: Ensure your experience reflects the role accurately and truthfully otherwise this is a waste of time for you and the recruiter These steps can help you present yourself effectively and increase your chances of securing a contract role. If anyone has any success stories then feel free to comment and this will help lots of people!
