Companies are starting to hire again! Are you ready?

Whether you already have a reel or portfolio or you're an emerging digital media artist looking to leverage your skills into a paying position, this series will help you create a new look or polish your existing projects to make you more marketable. Employers tell us the portfolio is not only a must, but that it is the single most determining factor in whether a candidate gets interviewed or not.

Plug in where it makes the most sense for you--building your portfolio, packaging it, promoting it or take it to the next level through our advanced portfolio class that includes client relationship building. Each 2-day class is led by a professional instructor who will give you the building blocks you need. The first three hours includes lecture and demonstration, a group critique and then you will have 5 hours of open lab with an assistant to help troubleshoot your Adobe CS4 or Final Cut Pro questions. To get the most from this class be prepared to show your current reel or portfolio or bring samples of your work.

Individual portfolio classes are $495 each, or take the whole series for just $1495.
