January 27,

As many college student approach graduation their one concern as a design student is landing that first job. Therefore, on January 27, it was discussed where the jobs are and how to land a position. To find that job there are websites in which you may search job listings online, on websites such as, iida.org, career center.aia.org, jobbank.asid.org/jobs and architect.com/jobs. In approach to gaining the job it is nice to send a digital piece of your work as a teaser before actually attending an interview. Then when the day comes for the face to face interview, present a physical copy of your portfolio. It was nice to know as a tip to composing a portfolio, "embrace the white space." When designing a your portfolio may ask what to include. One should include a range of creative work, items that expresses the range of skills, and interest one may have, and there should be a mix of digital and hand work, and academic and professional work. One thing that I found was important to included was process work. Also pages should be balanced, there should be no more that 2 pages designated to each project.
