Networking


Since I will be graduating in almost one month, it's important that I start to network with professionals. This way I can be updated on job opportunities and get a chance to see whats out there in the professional world. Last month, I attended design day for IIDA at Momentum Textiles. I was able to network with professionals from the Triad and show them my portfolio to get feedback.

Eye Contact and personality is important when in an interview

Table of Contents, and showing your name everywhere in your portfolio (that way they don't forget who you are)

Always send a thank you letter after an interview (in the mail, not digitally)
