    Im in the exact same boat as you. Ive been looking for FT work for the last 10 months. My few thoughts...

    I would take a long hard look in the mirror and personally decide if you want to be labeled as a 'specialist' or a 'generalist'. Once you pick one, lean HARD into it. At this point, you can't be going back and forth. Employers will sniff this out. Whatever it is you decide, the role is somewhere out there for you.

    Once you answer that question, I would overhaul your website based on what you've decided you want to be. Your site needs to be absolutely clear and direct in what you want and how your work benefits your potential employer. Your site felt half finished, and honestly, if I were hiring, id take a pass on your current site.

    Finally, looking for work in general is a full time job in itself. Even more so during this shit time of a pandemic. Its going to be a grind. Tons of other designers are out there looking for work and studio budgets are limited, but keep grinding. Apparently the market is rebounding back up. Keep your head up.
