Up now on Creative Seeds: video of the entire panel discussion from last month's Coroflot Creative Confab in Portland, OR. If you've ever wished you could corner a group of recruiters and senior designers and ask them exactly what it takes to get a job in their studio...well, we did it for you.
Topics covered include:
- Where recruiters look for leads on new hires
- What a portfolio can't show
- The dangers of relying too much on a single source of referrals
- How creative teams in large corporations deal with official hiring channels
- Finding the narrative in an applicant's work history and online presence
- The advantages of maintaining a long-term database of potential hires
- The necessity of presenting a true picture of your skills and personality, even if it's not what the employer's looking for
- The difference between skill sets for staff positions and freelance ones
