Why Take This Course?
We get it. There’s nothing more frustrating than working your tail off to go to school and put together a blood-sweat-and-tear-stained portfolio only to receive rejection after rejection. Or even worse, to receive nothing — just the silent treatment. Well, chances are the problem isn’t you and your portfolio. But it could be that your job-hunting tactics could use some adjustment, and that’s precisely what we’ll cover in this mini-workshop.

Course Description
Should you listen to an old, bald guy on how a young, fully coiffed person like you should go looking for a job? Yes, you should, considering he’s the director of a portfolio school that prides itself on its high job-placement record. Here’s what he’ll be covering:

• Why browsing and answering job postings is not enough

• Developing a strategy and campaign to work where you want to work

• Creating an audit of your special talents, experience, and must-haves

• Tips for getting past the automated resume reader to a real human being

• Looking at job-hunting as a job

• Overcoming the negativity and defeatism of the job search

Who Should Take This Class?
This mini-workshop is for aspiring UX and content designers looking to successfully land their first job or a new job – even if they’re not quite ready to start looking.
