Our team (What is Portfolio Creative?) is already quizzing each other, so gather some friends and co-workers and compete against us in what is sure to be a fierce and spirited night. Register here. Please help us in welcoming the newest member of our Client and Talent Services Team, Cherissa Fenwick. Cherissa will focus on connecting the right candidate with the right creative project in the retail and fashion industries.

 Opportunity Knocks
Creative Job? Creative Recruiter!
Catherine Lang-Cline, Owner
"A creative recruiter is a person who has a history and a true understanding of the industry. If you are not sure, ask your recruiter what makes them an expert. Their client list and number of contacts don't cut it. What do they really know? Do they understand the language? Can they identify a good portfolio?"

Raise Your Game
Social Media: Using LinkedIn for Design Professionals
Kristen Harris, Owner
"To make the most of LinkedIn, make sure you have a very thorough profile. The basic profile is essentially a resume or overview of past experience, but feel free to add interesting information and details that will engage the reader. Also be sure to use a descriptive professional headline that explains who you are and what you do, not just your job title."
