I have my BA in Graphic Design and 1.5 yoe in-house and agency. My resume is just not getting looked at in the careers website or I’m getting an automatic deny. Everyone wants senior product designers but don’t want to hire early careers or new grads. Please let me know if you can refer me. #apple #asana #atlassian #airbnb #adobe #affirm #airtable #akunacapital #brex #benchling #bloomberg #blend #coinbase #citadel #c3ai #cruise #coursera #cloudera #datadog #databricks #dropbox #deliverr #doordash #docusign #flexport #facebook #figma #glassdoor #google #hulu #instacart #instabase #intuit #ironclad #jumptrading #lyft #linkedin #microsoft #mongodb #nvidia #nuro #opendoor #pathai #pinterest #plaid #quora #qualtrics #reddit #redfin #rippling #riotgames #ripple #robinhood #roblox #salesforce #samsara #scaleai #servicenow #sequioa #shopify #slack #snap #snowflake #splunk #square #stripe #spotify #tableau #twilio #twitch #twitter #tusimple #twosigma #uber #verkada #wayfair #waymo #wish #workday #yandex #ycombinator #yelp #zendesk #zillow #zoom
A lot of the F A G companies hire from their internship programs. N doesn’t hire anyone lower than a senior position across roles. Try for other smaller fish in the sea too, a lot of them are hiring for entry level designers. Give em a chance.
Agreed^ there are plenty of other excellent options at smaller places too
Can you name these smaller places?
LinkedIn hires associate (entry level ) designers with less than 2 YOE, but it’s only 3-4 roles in a year.

Companies will hire early career product designers. They just won’t (or at least, shouldn’t) hire graphic designers who think they are product designers.
They won’t if it’s small/medium and they don’t have the budget to mentor, or a startup that wants to move fast If a graphic designer has the background and is transitioning or learning product design and can prove it with their case studies and in interviews, then it’s not that they just want to be product designers who “think” they’re product designers
