Job Search Tips

Graduating with a strong portfolio is just one step in getting the right job or client. Of course, it’s probably the most important step. As an artist or designer, you are easily judged on the quality of your work when applying for a job.

But a stellar portfolio not the only factor. How slick is your resume? Do you write a good cover letter? Do you effectively represent yourself in person? Can you network to find opportunities? Are you applying for a job that you are actually qualified for and interested in?
