(no subject)
long time no lj. and i don't think i'm making my comeback today.
i finished up school earlier in december, and the last thing on my mind was celebrating. the last two months have been hard hard work and i'm mostly ready to rest and recover.
christmas was a wash this year, and we chose to spend time alone with our little family rather than travel to see others. i managed to crash a rental car, which was 'fun,' but now all is well.
with school being over, my priorities lie in finding a job. this has been going miraculously, and i've already relaxed from the initial fears i had when i was graduating.
i'm applying for mainly mid level and senior positons, because i have no interest in the creative [and financial] benefits of an entry level design job. amazingly enough, i'm getting lots of calls back and setting up interviews daily. i was afraid that i don't look like much on paper with my resume, but having a great portfolio is opening a lot of doors. it's a great confidence tool to bring along to interviews, and i can literally watch someone's opinion of me change once they look at my work.
my only problem so far is that i'll be away for 2+ weeks with jeremy celebrating our [belated] honeymoon in brazil [carnivale!]. but, things could be worse.
here's some pictures i took of my portfolio:
portfolio, business card, resume, and a little promo item i made for the portfolio show at my school.
inside the portfolio case. the case is handmade. the pieces are individual cards which stack up to store.
so, i'm sorry, but lj just isn't a priority for me at the moment, and i'm feeling pretty 'inwards' lately.
i do check my page once or twice a week, and am glad that 2005 is already treating most of you well!
