By just studying illustrations doesn't help, malaysian employers prefer designers with multiple skill sets. More than 100 people apply usually. Sometimes can go up to 1000 applications and more just for the same 1 job posting on any job sites. Malaysian employers looking for employees with multiple skill sets apply to every other industry tbh. I'm in the media industry and tbh a lot of employers want someone who have: PR skills Design skills Writing skills Advertising skills Marketing skills Events management skills A lot of requirements but not necessarily need every skill listed. EVen if let's say you have all the skills to offer, they will pay you peanuts. Pay peanuts attract monkeys lah. What to expect.

QUOTE(jmtstan @ Sep 17 2021, 12:51 PM) add in Web design skill. you have to learn about generating user data, mailing, e-commerce thing also. Event management skills can be easily learn as you work, like throw you to manage an exhibition, product launching. pay is little, the career ladder is small. that is why i transition from graphic designer to doing sales administration & marketing. I agree.. In my last job I applied for a content writer job. I got it but when the company signed me on, I was a marketing executive lmao.. So basically I have to do content writing, copywriting, design (logo, posters, web, etc)., paid ads (social media + google ads), even had to go out to find clients also when that has nothing to do with my job scope at all. Even had to do PR and events management works... And guess how much they paid me? A bit more than rm2000 =_=
