  • now what?

    #1
    I’m new here and I already have a problem.

    I've recently graduated with my BA (graphic design obviously)
    have been to a few interviews....
    turns out I am over qualified for an internship because I have had one and have graduated...
    but under qualified for an actual job.

    How did you guys get your foot in the door?

      Can the school you graduated from help you with job placement?

      In the interim, what about posting up an ad on Craig's List?

      Check this as well: FAQ's

      Scroll down to the 3rd post, there's stuff there about Job Search.

              Keep trying. Having had one internship does not disqualify you from taking another.
              Just be careful of those who would use you rather than teach you.

                  "Alpha Channel" is a (somewhat dated) way for Photoshop to store mask information in an image file. In the days before support for native Photoshop transparency, it was the de facto method for...
