Episode 16: Cultivating a nourishing and inspiring creative culture

Learn the secrets of a successful creative job search from young, award-winning creative pros. Each episode, I interview a young creative professional about the steps they took to go from design school grad to successful employee at a creative firm. Through their stories, we cover topics like: defining what you want to do as a designer, identifying creative firms you’d love to work for, connecting with the right people inside of them, building a focused design portfolio website, writing effective cover letters and following up, preparing for and winning the interview and negotiating job offers. I’ve helped hundreds of design school grads, like the ones you’ll hear from, find their first creative jobs. And I can help you find yours. Join us!
