After signing up on Linkedin.com, which had been long put off, I immediately began making connection with classmates, old colleagues, and former employers. This helped me find good groups to join in relation to my course topic and major. A few of my classmates had already joined a group called Creative Design Pros. This seemed like a well-fitting group for myself so I through out a question: ”
What is a main trait design firms look for when hiring people out of college?
I am a senior at Western Kentucky University with a major in Advertising – Creative Print, Graphic Design minor. I want to know everything there is to know about advertising and design and how to get a good job when I graduate. Any input would be greatly appreciated!”
The feedback I received was very enlightening for me. A few comments were about building my resume in a design fashion which I am glad was brought up by someone other than in my classes. I have always wondered if that was truly important. I am glad I have already been working on a resume that shows my design capabilities. I also got some good office advice for when I get a job. All the advice and time received for my question is greatly appreciated.
I know I will continue asking question about Advertising on Linkedin.com. It is a great outlet for career advice from an outside source.
