Where To Locate Optimal Graphic Design Positions

You may have recently left school or looking for a change

, there are many graphic design jobs. We are living in a highly visual world; many of us spend a vast amount of time on the internet accessing numerous sites. Every website that you visit contains graphics, usually many of them, and each image was specially created by an artist: that artist can be you. Graphic design jobs are not just limited to digital and web, though, so you still have tons of options in other areas of the field, including advertising, marketing, product package design, and much more.

A good place to start an online search is by look for 'graphic design jobs' in popular search engines. You'll find many different types of sites - almost all involve job searches by type of job and location. Because you will want to present yourself and your work as professional through job search engines, you will need an updated and refined resume and portfolio of design examples. Look through the sites and spend sometime on it and save the sites that you may like to return to. It's a good idea to have different folders in your Internet browser where you can sort any graphic design related job searches you want to save. Use this when you save the links you want to return to.

If you are a member of a professional organization this is a great place to go first and as a student you can join reasonably. One affordable solution is an associate membership, which gives you the benefit and prestige of adding a professional association to your resume while remaining economical.

Search the internet to prepare for your graphic design jobs.

You already know where to go, it is time to get ready - is your resume up to date? You can find sites on the internet that show you how to write resumes and give you guidelines for assessing the one you currently have. If you feel that your resume lacks the experience you need in the design field, you should offer to do work for free for non-profit organizations or local businesses. Make sure you do an excellent job and ask them if they will be a reference you can include on your resume.

You will require a portfolio while searching for graphic design employment. There are several kinds of portfolios - paper, web and DVD/CD portfolios. Countless online resources and books at the local library can give you the advice you need for preparing and editing your graphic design portfolio. Most reputable job search sites will enable you to upload and save portfolios, resumes, and cover letters so applying to multiple jobs is easier and faster than ever. Other places will not allow you to post the portfolio, just your resume.

It may be worth the time and money to have your own web site so that you can put a link to your portfolio in your resume. If your search for graphic design jobs includes web design, then make sure that your web site is a reflection of the work that you can do in this area, take time with it and keep refining and changing it.
