[MISC] Job
Jan. 28th, 2008 09:09 pmOkay, seriously...how many times am I gonna keep changing my password because I forget the older one? Sheesh, I need to get on this acount more so I can stop doing it.
Anyways, this may be a writing journal, but I like to research and save important information. Here's something on first jobs:
Tips for design students on finding the first job.
Many young designers find it hard to believe that they can make a living doing something they find compelling and interesting—something they love. Finding the right first job, even if it's a summer job or an internship, is not just an important step in launching your career. It is an exploration of the field and a continuation of the learning process. Even the most skilled designer finds the search for a first job stressful.The suggestions that follow can reduce that stress by providing an overview of the process.
Before you can begin your job search, you need to understand
1.) yourself: your motivations, strengths, and weaknesses;
2.) your work: its nature, style, and variety
3.) the job market: corporations, design offices, and the wide variety of other businesses that employ graphic designers.
Then you can get ready to present yourself and your work in a portfolio.
