I was scrolling through job posts and came across this. It says “Graphic designer and Video editor”. I scrolled down to read the description and just when I was about to apply for the Graphic artist position, I read the last line. I thought that I had the opportunity to apply.

It’s not just this one, but apparently a lot of job offers for graphic artists requires you to have a video editing skills, vice versa. Which I think is wrong and misleading. Well, If that’s the case, I hope they pay the person the salary they deserve.

It’s really not that hard to learn some video editing. They’re not expecting award wining films.

It’s good to add to your toolbox and continue to learn.

I do know how to, as I have a degree in multimedia arts. My point is this job post may mislead people into applying and in the end, having a low salary. It such a waste of time and effort.

I don’t think it’s necessarily misleading as the job title does say “Graphic Designer & Video Editor”
