Thanks for the tips!
You're a talented dude, I've seen some of your work. I wish you the best.

As Sly mentioned, focus on one skill set you feel the most confident, and run with that. If you don't have any luck, go to skill set two. I'm sure you've heard the statement, "jack of all trades, master of none"? As an employer, when I see a resume where someone lists they can do everything under the sun, it sends off all kinds red lights.

I hired a guy last year who is very proficient in web development, graphic designer, and video editing. He had three different portfolio sites for each skill highlighting his best work. I posted a job online for a web developer, he emailed me the resume and portfolio link to the site he dedicated for web development only. Didn't mention design or video editing at all. Not until after he was hired did he show me the other sites. I thought it was pretty damn smart.
