[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I'm a front end web developer and work off designer created templates on a daily basis. Templating is something you need to know how to do. Period. Being out of the tech design industry for 2 full years is a VERY long time. Did you do any work at all during that period? Keep your skills up to date?  Do you have any experience with basic web design (HTML/CSS)?

I agree with above, if they call for a reference will they get your previous boss or just HR to verify you were there for the dates you submitted? Since it was essentially a "contract" time period, you may be better off listing it as such on your resume, as "consulting" experience or something. [/quote]

OP here. I do have some basic experience with HTML/CSS, but the templates I was creating were not for web. There were signage templates for other graphic designers to use. You create them at 2.5 % or whatever and create a layout (template) of what the end designs should look like. I honestly never made them before. I have five years experience at print and never had to do these. I was not on the job description.

I did a little freelance, but it was small brochures and flyers.  [/quote]
