Becoming a Professional web designer is the first step to your career stair-step to becoming more relevant and demand gets higher because you choose to take your career to another level. Most people in the industry often forget that before any company/organization or individual will pay you for a design job, they would need to see your professionalism on your own personal website or a reference from other design jobs you’ve done!
First step to this is to take the time to perfect your personal website and include this in all proposals you will submit and if you have any partner in the design industry that you exchange ideas together, you could also take his/her permission to include such profile with yours for getting that JOB out of competition.
Understand that you are not alone in the industry therefore work hard enough to improve your design daily.
