When I switched from being a designer to design recruitment, I had no idea what I was doing. I\u2019d spend hours analyzing portfolios, second-guessing every hiring decision, and overthinking feedback. It felt like a game where everyone knew the rules except me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now? I can glance at a portfolio and know\u2014almost instantly\u2014whether the designer is a fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not magic. It\u2019s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experience stacks up, layer by layer, until what once required conscious effort becomes automatic. Like how a chef doesn\u2019t need to measure spices, or a musician can improvise without thinking. What used to be a slow, deliberate process becomes an instinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instinct isn\u2019t born out of nothing. It\u2019s trained. It\u2019s earned. It\u2019s the result of making mistakes, correcting them, and doing it over and over again until the patterns become second nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I started trekking, I had to actively remind myself to drink water, layer up before it got cold, and pace myself. Now, my body recognizes altitude changes before my mind does. It tells me when I need to slow down, when I need to eat, and when something feels off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experience is nothing but stored failures and successes. Given enough time, it stops feeling like knowledge and starts feeling like instinct. And that\u2019s when you know\u2014you\u2019ve truly learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
